Many of these questions are in the style of the Diploma
Exam. You will find guidance for writing Diploma Exams in
Appendix A5. Science Directing Words used in Diploma
Exams are in bold type. Exam study tips and test-taking
suggestions are on the Nelson Web site.
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS TEXTBOOK.
Part 1
- Identify the DNA sequence that would result in
phenylalanine being placed in a polypeptide chain.
A. UUG
B. AAC
C. UUU
D. TTT
2.Identify the term that best describes the mutation that
causes the loss of phenylalanine.
A. silent mutation
B. insertion mutation
C. deletion mutation
D. missense mutation
3.Gene therapy trials to correct this defect in the CFTRgene
have been conducted by doctors in several centres. The
following is a list of some genetic technologies that might
be used in this work:
- restriction endonucelases
- mtDNA
- polymerase chain reaction
- DNA ligase
- viruses
- bacterial plasmids
- gene sequencing
Identify the technologies that would most likely be used to
isolate the gene for a therapy trial. (Record all four digits of
your answer in the order in which the technologies would
be used.)
4.Identify the enzyme that is correctly matched with its
function.
A. DNA polymerase I: synthesis of the continuous
matching strand
B. DNA helicase: synthesis of messenger RNA
C. DNA polymerase III: cuts out the primer and replaces
it with DNA nucleotides
D. DNA ligase: links adjacent nucleotides together by
covalent bond
5.Select the response that correctly identifies the
complementary DNA strand for this strand:
5 -TACTTTGGCCCAGAG-3
A. 3 -AUGAAACCGGGUCUC-5
B. 3 -UACUUUGGCCCAGA-5
C. 3 -ATGAAACCGGGTCTC-5
D. 5 -ATGAAACCGGGTCTC-3
Use the following information to answer questions 1 to 3.
The cause of cystic fibrosis has been identified as a variety of
mutations to the CFTRgene on chromosome 7. The most
common of these involves the loss of three nucleotides, which
in turn results in the loss of a phenylalanine at amino acid
position 508. Use the following information to answer questions 6 and 7.
- Amino acids are brought to the ribosome and linked
together in the correct order. - A copy of the gene is taken to the ribosome.
- RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter site.
- The two subunits of the ribosome attach to the RNA strand.
- DNA polymerase III makes a matching strand using
complementary base pairs. - Release factor binds to the A site and the ribosome
releases the amino acid chain. - The two original strands serve as templates for the
synthesis of new matching stands. - The lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments.
- The two strands are unwound and the hydrogen bonds are
broken.
6.Identify the steps described above that correspond to the
process of replication. (Record all four digits of your answer
in the order the steps would occur in the cell.)
7.Match these terms to the selection above that best
describes them. (Record all four digits of your answer.)
