A gene to be unwinds and unzips. The length of DNA that makes up the gene dips into the . bonds between bases break. RNA nucleotides bind to their exposed complementary bases. This is catalysed by . The two extra are released which releases energy for bonding adjacent nucleotides. The mRNA is complementary to the nucleotide base sequence on the strand of the DNA. Therefore it is a of the base sequence on the strand of the length of DNA. The mRNA is released from the DNA and passes through a to a .

How does cyclic AMP activate proteins?

Select one of the following:

By removing an amino acid
By adding an enzyme
By altering their three-dimensional structure

Explanation

1

Mutations cause changes to the sequence of amino acids in DNA molecules

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 6 of 11

1

When lactose is ❌ from the growth medium:
The regulator gene is expressed and the ❌ protein is synthesised. It has two binding sites, on the binds to ❌ and one that binds to the operator ❌. The repressor ❌ binds to the operator region. In doing so it covers part of the ❌ region, where RNA ❌ normally attaches. RNA polymerase cannot bind to the promoter region so the ❌ genes cannot be transcribed into ❌. Without mRNA these genes cannot be ❌ and the enzymes cannot be synthesised.

Select one or more of the following:

It can act as a mechanism to change body plans
It is programmed cell death

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

An allele is a version of a ( gene, chromosome, chromatid ). A gene is a length of DNA that codes for one or more ( polypeptides, carbohydrates, cell membranes ).
The locus is the ( position, direction, completion ) of a gene on a chromosome.
( Crossing, Keeling, Swapping ) over is when lengths of DNA are swapped from one chromatid to another.
