What nitrogen bases are found in a DNA molecule and how do

they differ from the bases found in the RNA molecule?

DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine

RNA: Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine

The backbone of a DNA molecule is made up of what molecules? (Be

specific in your answer.)

Deoxyribose Sugar and Phosphates

Where in the cell can RNA be found and how does that differ

from the location of DNA?

RNA can be found in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and

ribosomes. DNA is ONLY found in the nucleus.

What are Okazaki fragments?

The fragments of DNA added on the lagging strand during

DNA replication

Transcribe the following DNA sequence:

AATCGACCT

UUAGCUGGA

How many amino acids are coded for in the

following:AUGUACCCATAG

AUG UAC CCA TAG 4

Transcription occurs in the _____ and translation

occurs in the ______.

Transcription occurs in the NUCLEUS and translation

occurs in the RIBOSOMES.

What type of mutation has occurred here:

DNA: AACTAGAGGMUT: AACAGATGG

Inversion Mutation

What 2 types of mutations will cause a frame shift?

Deletion and Insertion

The start codon is AUG, what amino acid

does this code for?

Methionine

WHAT are the 4 phases of the CELL CYCLE

and what occurs during each phase?

G1 – growth, metabolism, protein synthesis

S – DNA replicationG2 – protein synthesis,

metabolism, preparing for division

M – Mitosis and Cytokinesis

If a liver cell contains 96 chromosomes, how many

chromosomes does it contain after cell division?

96 – liver cells only divide through mitosis

If a zygote has 48 chromosomes, how

many chromosomes in the gametes?

24

What are the two types of meiosis in humans that were discussed in class and what are their products?

Spermatogenesis – spermOogenesis – egg

What structure is responsible for lining

chromosomes up in the middle of the cell and then

pulling them apart?

Spindle Fibers

Give the genotypic ratio and phenotypic

ratio for the following:Hh x Hh

GR – 1:2:1PR – 3:1

If Black fur color (B) is dominant to white (b), what is the genotype for gray fur color and

what type of inheritance is this?

Bb – Incomplete Dominance

A man with cystic fibrosis (XbY) and a homozygous non-cystic fibrosis woman (XBXB) have a son. Is it possible for

that son to inherit cystic fibrosis? Why?

No, he will inherit the Y from the father and

an XB from the mother

Colorblindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. How is it

possible for 2 parents to have a daughter who is colorblind?

The father must be colorblind and the mother must be either a carrier

or colorblind.

XbY and XBXb or XbY and XbXb

Give the probability of the genotype ffTt from

the cross: FfTt x FFTt

There is a 0% chance that ffTt will be produced from FfTt x FFTt

What type of inheritance is shown below:

Dominant, Recessive, or Sex-Linked

Recessive

Give the genotype of the person indicated below

Heterozygous

What is a pedigree?

A genetic family tree

Is it possible to determine traits such as eye color and hair color

from a karyotype?

NO

What is non-disjunction and when can it occur?

Non-disjunction can occur during Anaphase I and

Anaphase II and it is when homologous chromosomes or

sister chromatids fail to separate from one another resulting in unequal #s of chromosomes/chromatids
