Document Summary

Dna carries genetic material (only thing it does/good for) Template for producing proteins (mrna) -> dna gets transcribed into mrna that is used to translate proteins. Makes up much of ribosome (rrna) -> involved in making proteins. Carries amino acids to ribosome (trna) to make proteins. Rna also involved in splicing of rna; involves another rna protein complex. 90% of your genome is transcribed into rna; a lot of it is little rnas that have regulatory functions -> has a lot of different functions but major ones covered will be above 3. To make rna, you have ribonuelcotides that have three parts to them; a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate o. Sugar = ribose; ribose is in cyclised form (beta ribose) o. When you take a ribose and you add a nitrogenous base to it (in this diagram it is cytosine), you get a nuceloside o o o o o o o.

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.

QUESTION 3. RNA is distinguished from DNA because only RNA:

A. typically exists as a single-stranded molecule.

B. has a 3' to 5' directionality.

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.
