Part I

Science 10 Summative Assessment in Heredity

Direction: Answer the following questions.

Write your answer in your separate answer
sheet.

For nos. 29-32

Look at the four DNA sequences of bases below.

For nos. 1-12

The sequence of bases in one DNA strand is given
below. Identify the complementary sequence of
bases in other strand of DNA.

For nos. 13- 24

Show how the DNA code translate into RNA code
by placing the sequence of bases of the DNA and
RNA side by side.
How does each of these errors change the DNA
sequence? What do you call these changes?

RNA
______________________________________
For nos. 25-28
Each combination of three nitrogenous bases on
the mRNA molecule is codon, a three letter code
for a specific amino acid. Use the table below to
identify the specific amino acid for each mRNA
codon.

54. Aspartic acid
50. Lysine
55. Glutamic acid
Fill in the blanks.
Each combinations of nitrogen bases on the
mRNA molecule is a codon, which is a three letter
code for a specific amino acid. The table shows
the mRNA codon for each amino acid. Use the
Genetic Code Table (see table in no. 3) to answer
the questions.
