c. intact udder cell

d. nucleus

2. What is the principle of nuclear equivalence?

a. Differentiated cells have lost DNA that codes for other cell types.

b. All nuclei are the same shape.

c. Only nuclei of germ cells contain DNA capable of producing an entire organism.

d. The genome of every somatic cell contains information capable of generating any other cell type in the body.

3. A gene contains 6 exons, numbered 1-6. Which of the following mRNA isoforms is not a possible transcriptional product of this gene?

a. 1-2-3-4-5-6

b. 2-5-3-4

c. 2-4-5-6

4. Which of the following is a mechanism used to alter gene expression using mRNA transcripts?

a. Different stability (longevity) of mRNA transcripts

b. Inhibition of translation of certain mRNAs

c. Production of small RNA molecules (microRNAs) that block translation

5. You have recently started working in an embryology lab and have obtained a large number of unfertilized zebrafish oocytes. You decide to treat the oocytes with RNAse (a protein that will degrade RNAs, but leave DNA proteins intact) prior to fertilizing them. Will the resulting embryos develop into normal fish?

a. Yes, because RNAs from sperm cells can replace those lost from the egg.

b. Yes, because intact DNA is the only factor required for development to proceed.

c. No, because RNAse treatment will damage the structure of the oocyte.

d. No, because maternal mRNAs are required for the early stages of development.
