Answer
-
A section of a chromosome made of DNA
-
A trouser made of denim
-
The characteristics expressed by an individual
-
It codes for a particular protein
-

A-T, C-G
-
A-G, C-T
-
G -T, A-C
-
A-A, C-C, T-T, G-G
Question 6
Question
How does protein synthesis occur outside of the nucleus when DNA can't leave the nucleus?
Answer
-
mRNA carriers a copy of the DNA to the ribosomes
-
The gene splits from the DNA and goes to the ribosomes
-
The ribosomes come into the nucleus

Answer
-
1. A double helix unzips to form two single strands of DNA
-
1. It pairs up with another strand of DNA
-
1. Half of the bases are removed from the DNA
-
2. New complementary base pairs join up with the existing ones
-
2. The two strands wind back together but in a different order
Question 11
Answer

Meiosis
-
Mitosis
Question 12
Question
What are the advantages of being multicellular?
Answer
-
you can grow larger
-
it allows cell differentiation
-
organisms can become more complex
-
you have spares in case some cells die
Question 13
Question
When an organism becomes multicellular it must have...
Answer
-
communication systems between cells
-
a system to supply cells with nutrients
-
a system to control exchanges between cells
-
a larger surface area
Question 14
Question
What is metabolic rate?
Answer
-
The sum of all of the reactions occurring in the body
-
How quickly you can digest food
-
The rate at which you respire
Question 15
Question
Why do changes in temperature and pH affect respiration?
Answer
-
Because respiration is controlled by enzymes
-
Because muscles are slower when they're hot
-
The oxygen content in the air changes in different pHs
Question 16
Question
What are the ethical issues with cloning animals?
Answer
-
people think it's wrong to interfere with nature
-
cloning animals will cause mutants that revolt against humans, e.g. the wererabbit
-
Cloning people will make someone that is not a real individual and that is wrong
Question 17
Question
Cloning plants is easier because plant cells retain the ability to differentiate
Answer
- True
- False
Question 18
Question
The first stage of genetic engineering is to insert a gene into another organism
Answer
- True
- False
Question 19
Question
What are the ethical issues of genetically engineering?
Answer
-
People are worried about the health risks of genetically engineered food
-
People are worried that genetically engineered food wont taste nice
-
People are worried that genetically modified plants/animals will disrupt the natural ecosystems
-
Some people think it's morally wrong to create new life forms or move genes between species
-
Some people are worried that the animal will lose connections with its friends if it is genetically modified and its friends aren't
Question 20
Question
Nuclear transfer can be used to clone animals
Answer
- True
- False
Question 21
Question
What are the uses of cloning animals?
Answer
-
Mass producing animals with desired characteristics, e.g. cows that produce a lot of milk
-
Producing lots of animals that have been genetically modified to provide human products
-
producing human embryos to provide stem cells for research and therapy
Question 22
Question
