10. Central Dogma
11. mutations
12. Codons and amino acids
13. DNA as a template for transcription
14. 1 gene, 1 polypeptide experiment
15. Ability for molecule to unwind
16. Introns + post transcriptional modifications
17. Importance of hydrogen bonds for DNA molecule
18. Post transcriptional modifications
19. DNA strand given, how many codons are present?
20. Expresses 2 pieces of DNA, what mutation has occurred?
21. Inherited mutatuins
22. What is an amino acid?
23. Central dogma
24. Post transcriptional modifications
25. Functional ribosomes structure

Part B

Short answer:

1. Explain function of mRNA and tRNA
2. Explain why DNA and RNA are both found in nucleus
3. Compare differences between DNA and RNA
4. Discuss 2 of the three post transcriptional modifications
5. Discuss intron exon
6. Role of the following: Poly-A-Polymerase, Splicisome
7. DNA strand given(single strand) locate promoter region and support answer
8. Functional Ribosomes, p-site and a-site, Codon vs. Anticodon
9. Discuss mutations (point mutation)

Part C

Short answer:

1. DNA section given, produce protein from the information given to you.
2. Follows central dogma of protein synthesis. Is it true that tRNA always matches with an amino acid? explain
3. Protein given. how many nucleotides are involved?
4. Examples of mutations. State type of mutation and weather it is harmful or not.

Part D

Paragraph Answer:

1. Scientists performing nuclear testing above ground. Next generation of organisms mutated because of this. Rate of mutation is above normal. Why does this happen? Explain
2. DNA fingerprinting compares variable number tandem repeats. Why do we compare these rather than genes?
3. Read Page 360 explore an issue. Studying human diseases, easier to use cloned transgenic animals. State pros and cons of this.
