1what is a gene
- Aa gene is a section of DNA that contains the coded information for making polypeptides and functional RNA.
- Ba gene is a long chain of DNA
- Ca gene is a part of chromosome
- Da gene is a link in DNA
2what is a locus

- Ban allele
- Cthe environmental factors that determine the nature and development of all organisms
3what does the DNA base sequence code for
- Athe amino acid sequence of a polypeptide
- Ba functional RNA
- Cmutations

4in trying to discover how DNA bases coded for amino acids, scientists suggested that there must be a minimum of three bases that coded for each amino acid. their reasoning was as follows:
Only [blank_start]20[blank_end] different amino acids regularly occur in proteins
Each amino acid must have its own code of bases on the DNA
Only [blank_start]four[blank_end] different bases are present in DNA
If each base coded for a different amino acid, only four different amino acids could be coded for
Using a pair of bases [blank_start]16 (4^2) different codes[blank_end] are possible, which is [blank_start]still inadequate[blank_end]
Three bases produce [blank_start]64 (4^3) different codes[blank_end], [blank_start]more than[blank_end] enough to satisfy the requirement of [blank_start]20 amino acids[blank_end]- A20
- Bfour
- C16 (4^2) different codes
- Dstill inadequate
- Esatisfactory to the requirement
- F64 (4^3) different codes
- Gmore than
- Hthis is not
- I20 amino acids
- Jfour different amino acids
5what is a triplet
- Aa set of three bases that codes for an amino acid
- Bthree daughter cells produced by meiosis
- Cthree portions of DNA
6further experiments have revealed the following features of the gentic code:
- Aa few amino acids are coded for by only a single triplet
the remaining amino acids are coded for by between two and six triplets each - Ba triplet is read various directions along the dna strand
- Cthe code is known as degenerate code because most amino acids are coded for by more than one triplet
- Da triplet is always read in one particular direction along the dna strand
- Ethe start of a dna sequence that codes for a polypeptide is always the same triplet. this codes for the amino acid methionine, if this methionine molecule does not form part of the final polypeptide, it is later removed
- Fthree triplets do not code for any amino acid. these are called stop codons and mark the end of a polypeptide chain. they act in much the same way as a full stop at the end of a sentence
- Gthe code is non-overlapping, in other words each base in the sequence is read only once. thus six bases numbered 123456 are read as triplets 123 456, rather than triplets 123 234 345 456
- Hthe code is universal, with a few minor exceptions each triplet codes for the same amino acid in all organisms. this is indirect evidence for evolution
- Ione amino acid codes for only a single triplet
- Jthe code is known as non-degenerate code because most amino acids are coded for only one triplet
- Aa few amino acids are coded for by only a single triplet
7even within genes, only certain sequences code for amino acids. these coding sequences are called [blank_start]exons[blank_end]. within the gene these [blank_start]exons[blank_end] are seperated by further non-coding sequences called [blank_start]introns[blank_end].
- Aexons
- Bexons
- Cintrons
8in [blank_start]prokaryotic[blank_end] cells, such as bacteria, the dna molecules are [blank_start]shorter[blank_end], form a [blank_start]circle[blank_end] and are [blank_start]not associated[blank_end] with protein molecules. [blank_start]Prokaryotic[blank_end] cells therefore [blank_start]do not[blank_end] have chromosomes.
- Aprokaryotic

9in [blank_start]Eukaryotic[blank_end] cells, the DNA molecules are [blank_start]longer[blank_end], form a [blank_start]line rather than a circle[blank_end] and occur [blank_start]in association[blank_end] with proteins called [blank_start]histones[blank_end] to form structures called [blank_start]chromosomes[blank_end]. the mitochondria and chloroplasts of [blank_start]Eukaryotic[blank_end] cells also contain DNA which, like the DNA of [blank_start]Prokaryotic[blank_end] cells, is [blank_start]short, circular[blank_end] and no associated with proteins.

11each thread on a chromosome is called a [blank_start]chromatid[blank_end]

12the DNA in chromosomes is held together by [blank_start]histones[blank_end]

13How is DNA packed into chromosomes

14[blank_start]sexually[blank_end] produced [blank_start]organisms[blank_end], such as [blank_start]humans[blank_end], are the result of the [blank_start]fusion[blank_end] of a [blank_start]sperm[blank_end] and an egg, each of which contributes [blank_start]one[blank_end] complete [blank_start]set[blank_end] of chromosomes to the offspring.

15a homologous pair is always two chromosomes that carry the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles of the genes
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
16what is an allele
- Aan allele is one of a number of alternative forms of a gene
- Ban allele is a section of DNA that contains the coded information for making polypeptides and functional RNA
17if an allele is different, why is this?
- Aeach allele has a different base sequence, therefore a different amino acid sequence, so produces a different polypeptide
- Beach allele started off as one polypeptide chain but due to mutations, the alleles have changed and matured into a different allele
18where is eukarytoic DNA stored
- Anucleus
- Bfloating in cytoplasm
19the synthesis of proteins takes place in cytoplasm. how is it possible for the DNA to be transferred so it can be translated?
- Asections of DNA are transcribed onto a single stranded molecule called ribonucleic acid
- Bsections of DNA are transcribed onto a single stranded molecule called rebonucleic acid
- Csections of DNA are transcribed onto a single stranded molecule called transfer ribonucleic acid
