Document Summary

Optional reading: sandman and reeve (2006) archaeal histones and the origin of the histone fold. Dna), a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base: nucleotides are connected via 3"-5" phosphodiester bonds between the 5" phosphate of one nucleotide and the 3"carbon of the next, the nitrogenous bases are either purines or pyrimidines. The purines are adenine and guanine in both dna and rna. Rna and cytosine and thymine in dna: rna is usually single-stranded and dna is usually double-stranded. Rna folds back on itself to form complex 3-d structures but dna forms a double-helix: nucleotides can have other functions: atp is a ribonucleotide with three phosphates and is the major short-term carrier of energy in the cell. This energy is stored in the form of a high-energy phosphate bond. These sequences ensure that the chromosome can be replicated efficiently and passed on to daughter cells: chromosomes in eukaryotic cells consist of dna tightly associated with proteins.

QUESTION 1. Compared to eukaryotic genomes, only prokaryotic genomes:

A. contain DNA organized by histones.

B. contain usually one, circular chromosome.

C. contain plasmid DNA.

D. have chromosomes contained in a nucleus.

QUESTION 2. Azathioprine is a drug that may be prescribed to transplant recipients to reduce the chance of tissue rejection reactions. In its active state, it acts as a purine analogue, inhibiting DNA biosynthesis. This means that 6-mercaptopurine will be inserted in place of a purine containing nucleotides during DNA replication. Given this drug's mode of action, you would expect it to be incorporated into DNA in place of:

A. nucleotides containing guanine or cytosine.

B. nucleotides containing adenine or thymine.

C nucleotides containing adenine or guanine.

D. nucleotides containing guanine nucleotide or uracil.

C. is composed of nucleotides that contain the sugar deoxyribose.

D. is composed of nucleotides that contain the nitrogen bases T, C, G, and A.

QUESTION 4. How are RNA nucleotides different from DNA nucleotides? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

A. RNA nucleotides do not contain thymine.

B. RNA nucleotides use the sugar ribose, while DNA nucleotides do not.

C. RNA nucleotides lack phosphate.

D. RNA nucleotides incorporate pyrimidine nitrogen bases, while DNA nucleotides only incorporate purine nitrogen bases.

3. How do fatty acids of different carbon lengths cross into the mitochondrial matrix for oxidation?

A. Small FAs of 10 carbons or fewer can freely diffuse through the membrane

B. Large FAs are cleaved into two smaller units that are actively transported across the membrane

C. A membrane-bound transferase catalyzes the conversion of long-chain FAs and FA-carnitine esters, which are transported across the membrane via a specific carrier

D. The breakdown of large FAs starts outside the matrix, allowing for the smaller particles to pass easily through the membrane
