QUESTION NO. 1 Patients with the rare genetic disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are very sensitive to light and are highly susceptible to skin cancers. The study of such patients has enhanced our knowledge of DNA repair because XP is caused by defective DNA repair nucleotide excision repair. (A variant, XP-V, is deficient in postreplication repair.) In nucleotide excision repair A. removal of the damaged bases occurs on only one strand of the DNA. B. only thymine dimers generated by UV light can be removed . C. the excision nuclease is an exonuclease. D. a single multifunctional enzyme carries out the repair process. E. only the damaged nucleotides are removed. QUESTION NO.2 Homologous recombination: A. occurs only between two segments from the same DNA molecule. B. requires that a specific DNA sequence be present. C. requires one of the duplexes undergoing recombination be nicked in both strands. D. involves a…
Question 1. Although we will not be doing a gel electrophoresis, data from a gel digest of a Bacillus anthrax plasmid is provided so you can do a DNA map. The Bacillus anthrax plasmid is 4000bp (4Kb) long. Note the origin position as well as the reference molecular weight markers on the gel. Two restriction enzymes, A and B, were used to obtain two individual digests, A and B. They were combined to produce the third digest. The restriction enzyme fragment pattern for the digest of Bacillus anthrax plasmid Determining the Number of Fragments How many fragments were produced by enzyme A? How many fragments were produced by enzyme B? How many fragments were produced by the combined digest (A and B)? Fragment Size Fragment size is relative to molecular weight, and must be determined by comparing the fragment distance to the molecular weight markers. The fragment size has been provided on the gel pattern for this exercise. To make a map you must determine the relative positions of the…

QUESTION NO. 1 A transition mutation A. occurs when a purine is substituted for a pyrimidine or vice versa. B. results from the insertion of one or two bases into the DNA chain. C. is most frequently caused by chemicals (like acridine) that intercalate into DNA. D. results from substitution of one purine for another or of one pyrimidine for another. E. always is a missense mutation QUESTION NO. 2 Degeneracy of the generic code denotes the existence of A. multiple codons for a single amino acid. B. codons consisting of only two bases. C. base triplets that do not code for any amino acid. D. different systems in which a given trip let codes for different amino acids. E. codons that include one or more of the unusual bases. QUESTION NO. 3 Replication A. requires that a phosphodiester bond of the incoming dNTP be hydrolyzed in order to be added to the growing chain. B. uses 5' to 3' polymerase activity to synthesize one…
QUESTION NO. 1 Fragile X syndrome is a common form of inherited mental retardation. The mutation in the disease allows the increase of a CGG repeat in a particular gene from a normal of about 30 repeats to 200-1000 repeats. This repeat is normally found in the 5' untranslated region of a gene for the protein FMR1. FMR1 might be involved in the translation of brain-specific mRNAs during brain development. The consequence of the very large number of CGG repeats in the DNA is extensive methylation of the entire promoter region of the FMR1 gene. Methylation of bases in DNA usually A. facilitates the binding of transcription factors to the DNA. B. makes a difference in activity only if it occurs in an enhancer region. C. prevents chromatin from unwinding. D. inactivates DNA for transcription. E. results in increased production of the produce of whatever gene is methylated.QUESTION NO. 2 The best definition of an endonuclease is that it hydrolyzes A. nucleotide from…

QUESTION 25 What is the most common type of DNA sequence present in eukaryotic genomes? A. Repetitive DNA sequences B. Minisatellites C. Exons of genes encoding proteins D. Introns of genes encoding proteins
Question 2. Retroviruses are used in gene therapy. The goal of gene therapy is to insert in the patient genome a copy of a functional gene that is defective in the patient. Since Retroviruses integrates their genome into the host genome they are ideal gene therapy delivery systems. What would be a potential risk of this type of treatment? The individual treated could be more susceptible to infection by other retroviruses Insertion of the retroviral genome into the host genome can cause dangerous mutations. There are not recognized risks with this gene therapy approach. Genes from the host can be inserted into the retroviruses and laterally moved to other cells.
Question 29 A DNA sequence is transcribed in both males and females, but only translated in males. What type of sequence is this? A. 5’ UTR B. microRNA gene C. gene on X chromosome D. alternatively spliced exon
QUESTION 26 In a double-stranded DNA molecule, how are the sequences of each strand related to each other? A The sequences are identical. B The sequences are identical except that one strand has a U where the other strand has a T. C The sequences are the reverse compliment of each other and use the nucleotides, A, G, U, and C only. D The sequences are the reverse complement of each other.
