Answer:
RNA
Question 2: What mRNA codon would be made from the DNA triplet CGT?
Answer:
GCA Question 3: Cells are able to distinguish proteins destined for secretion or for segregation to specific intracellular compartments from those that will remain in the cytoplasm because _____.
Answer:
some proteins, as they begin to be synthesized, contain a signal region that causes the ribosome with its growing polypeptide to attach to the ER and translocate the polypeptide into the lumen (space) of the ER.

Answer:
Watson and Crick Question 5: Put the following DNA-containing entities in order according to the amount of DNA found in their genomes
Answer:
virus, bacteria, eukaryote
Question 6: During translation in a eukaryotic cell _____.
Answer:
polypeptides are synthesized at ribosomes, according to instructions carried out by mRNA Question 7: The incorporation of an incorrect base into the DNA during replication _____.
Answer:
can be repaired by the mismatch repair system Question 8: For any given gene, what ultimately determines which DNA strand serves as the template strand?
Answer:
the base sequence of the gene's promoter
Question 9: Transcription factors are found in ______.
Answer:
archaea and eukaryotes Question 10: At one point, as a cell carried out its day-to-day activities, the nucleotides GAT were paired with the nucleotides CUA. This pairing occurred _____.
Answer:
during transcription Question 11: The two strands of a DNA double helix are antiparallel. This mean that _____.
Answer:
one strand runs in the 5' to 3' direction, and the other runs in the 3' to 5' direction
Question 12: What is the process called that converts the genetic information stored in DNA to an RNA copy?
Answer:
transcription
Question 13: What is meant by translocation?
Answer:
The ribosome slides one codon down the mRNA
Question 14: The role of DNA polymerases in DNA replication is _____.
Answer:
attach free nucleotides to the new DNA strand Question 15: True or false. A tRNA with an anticodon complementary to the stop codon catalyzes the reaction by which translation is terminated.
Answer:
False
Question 16: Where does translation take place?
Answer:
Ribosome Question 17: Which of the following catalyzes the linkage between ribonucleotides to form RNA during gene expression?
Answer:

Answer:
the ribosome encounters a "stop" codon Question 19: What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?
Answer:
Bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes

Answer:
methionine Question 22: Which of the following statements correctly describes mRNA processing?
Answer:
Introns are cut out of the primary transcript, and the resulting exons are spliced together.
