Dear student,
(so,
I am sorry for the mistakes in some of the
questions. Questions are from one text book
and I didn’t correct these mistakes to make you
struggle and learn more.
Regards,
Your Teacher
1. In the structure of DNA there is:
I. Deoxyribose
II. Phosphoric acids (phosphate)
III. Guanine nucleotide
IV. Adenine nucleotide
Which of the above are found in the same
number in a DNA molecule?
A) I and II B) I and III C) II and III
D) I and IV E) II and IV
For every nucleotide there is 1 deoxyribose sugar, 1
phosphate and 1 nitrogenous base. Base is one of A, T, G
and C. Numbers for A=T , C= T, purines = pyrimidines
2. Some definitions related to mRNA are given below.
I. It is used as a template in protein synthesis. mRNA
II. It combines with the structure of proteins which are
synthesized in the cell. rRNA
III. There are Uracil, Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine
nucleotides in its structure for all RNA types
Which of above definitions are true for mRNA?
A) I only B) II only C) III only
D) I and II E) II and III F) I and III
3. The DNA of two cells from different tissues are
compared.
I. the number of hydrogen bonds
II. total number of nucleotides
III. the order of nucleotides
IV. the number of active genes
Which of the above characteristics are not
different in the two DNA samples?
A) II only B) III only C) I and II
D) II and IV E) I, II and III F) IV only
All our cells, except gametes and red blood cells, have
exactly the same DNA molecules and same genes. What
makes cells (i.e. muscle cell and nerve cell) different is
activation of different genes in different cells. The gene for
actin production is active in muscle cell but the same gene
is inactive in a nerve cell.
4. Which of the following is not a property of RNA?
A) It has uracil nucleotides.
B) It is synthesized from DNA.
C) It includes ribose sugar.
D) It is single-stranded.
E) It can be formed by replication.
5. In one strand of DNA there are 1800 nucleotides.
total is 3600 nucleotides)
If the number of Thymine nucleotides is 300,
find the number of Cytosine in the DNA molecule.
A=T=300
A+T= 600, A+T+G+C=3600
G=C= (3600-600)/2=1500
A) 300 B) 400 C) 500 D) 600 E) 900 F)1500
6. If 18% of a cell’s DNA is Adenine nucleotide,
which of the following is the ratio of (G+C) in
the DNA?
If A= 18%, then T is also 18%. A+T= 36%
G+C=100-36=64%
A) 21 % B) 26 % C) 36 % D) 49 % E) 64 %
7. Which of the following is not a function of
RNA?
A) Transportation of amino acids in the cytoplasm t RNA
B) Being a structural unit of enzymes ???
C) Being a structural unit of ribosomes r RNA
D) Transportation of genetic codes to the ribosome mRNA
E) Synthesis of antibody molecules ???
There is no RNA in enzyme structure.
Antibodies are proteins, RNA has roles in
protein production.
So B is a better answer
8. Some properties of different types of RNA are given in
the table below. Codes=codon, anticodes=anticodon
Which of the following is the correct match of the
numbers in the table?
DDDDD
9. Which of the following is a common property of both
DNA and RNA in eukaryotic cells?
A) Ability to copy itself and produce a similar molecule
only DNA
B) Presence of ribose sugar in its structure only RNA
C) Double-stranded structure only DNA
D) Plays a role in photosynthesis There is no direct role
for any of them. But both of them are found (very small
amount) in chloroplast stroma for production of some
special enzymes for photosynthesis.
E) Found in the cytoplasm of the cell only RNA
DNA and all 3 types of RNA are polymers made of
nucleotides. ATP is a modified RNA nucleotide with 3
phosphate molecules. ATP is not a polymer made of
monomers, it is like a single modified monomer.
13. In a cell there are some molecules, as follows:
I. ATP II. mRNA III. DNA
Which of the following is the correct order, according
to the size of the molecules above?

10. The sense strand of DNA synthesizes mRNA that has A) I = II < III B) I < III = II C) I < II = III
the following sequence of nucleotides: AUGA. D) I < II < III E) II < I < III
Find the sequence of nucleotides on the sense strand
of DNA.
Underline sentence is not technically correct. Sense DNA ----------------------------------------------------------------
strand is the non-template strand, it is not complementary
to the mRNA sequence.
----------------------------------------------------------------

We can answer the following question; If this is a piece of DNA,

A strand of DNA is used as a template to synthesize ------------------------
mRNA that has the following sequence of nucleotides:
AUGA. This is RNA
Find the sequence of nucleotides on the template strand
of DNA. -

Here we should be looking for a DNA sequence

This is ATP
complementary (matching) to AUGA. So we are looking
for TACT anywhere in the sequence.

mRNA is from sen

A) AUGA B) ATGACGC C) TACTGGG

D) AUGAGGG E) TTUGAGGG

11. Which of the following is not a common property of

both DNA and RNA?

A) Formed by nucleotides
B) In their structure there is a 5-carbon sugar
C) Monomers link to each other by phosphodiester and
glycosidic bonds
D) There is Thymine organic base in their structure
E) They play a role in photosynthesis

In DNA and RNA, adjacent (on the same strand)

nucleotides are connected by phophodiester bonds, bases
are connected to ssugars by glycosidic bonds.

In DNA, complementary bases are connectred by Hydrogen

bonds.

12. In a cell there are some molecules, as follows:

I. DNA
II. tRNA
III. ATP
In which of the molecules above can a nucleotide also
be used as a monomer, as in the structure of mRNA ?

A) I only B) II only C) I and II

D) II and III E) I, II and III

Question is about any nucleotide used as a small subunit.
