Question #1
All your body cells (somatic cells) have pretty much the same genome/DNA. If this is the case, why is your eye cells and stomach cells different?
A.
They are different because some genes are "on" and some genes are "off" which allows them to make different proteins as needed by the cell type
B.
They are different because although they have the same DNA, they have different amounts of certain types of DNA
C.
They are different because they are able to adapt and evolve to different needs of the body
Question #2
Cells are able to use proteins that bind to sections of the DNA that can help turn on and turn off genes. Which type of protein turns off transcription?
A.
Positive transcription factors
B.
Negative transcription factors
Question #3
What's the job of RNA polymerase?
A.
To do translation
B.
To turn on or off genes
C.
To do transcription
Question #4
What is the function of the promoter sequence?
A.
Acts as a binding spot for RNA polymerase
B.
Acts as an RNA primer for DNA polymerase to bind to
C.
Turns off the gene by activating RNA polymerase
Question #5
What is the function of the operator?
A.
It is a sequence of DNA that activates RNA polymerase and allows transcription to occur more frequently
B.
It is a sequence of DNA that amplifies strength of the promoter
C.
It is a sequence of DNA that allows repressor protein molecules to bind to
Question #6
What is the function of the repressor molecule?
A.
It blocks RNA polymerase from transcribing DNA to make RNA
B.
It allows RNA polymerase to transcribe DNA to make RNA
Question #7
lacI is a gene that codes for?
A.
The repressor protein
B.
DNA polymerase
C.
RNA polymerase
Question #8
What does lactose do if it's present in the cell?
A.
it binds to the operator so the lactase genes don't get transcribed
B.
It activates the repressor enabling the repressor to create lactase.
C.
it binds to the repressor allowing the transcription of mRNA instructions for making lactase.
Question #9
The presence of this molecule determines if the lactase gene gets transcribed?
A.
repressor
B.
lactose
C.
promoter
D.
operator
