Question

An occurrence when a section of a chromosome relocates itself to a non-homologous chromosome is called a/an:

                Inversion mutation

                Translocation mutation

                Transformation mutation

                Duplication mutation

a group formed to evaluate moral and ethical concerns arising from the Human Genome Project is:

                ELSI

                NIES

                MORA

                SILES

Patterns made by restriction fragments in an agarose gel creates a/an:

                Southern Blot

                Northern Blot

                VNTR

                DNA fingerprint

Mutations and polymorphisms both involve changes in DNA, but polymorphisms are more common because:

                mutations are always lethal.

                more people have them.

                mutations refer to a real situation, whereas polymorphisms are more hypothetical and used by biologists to explain genetic changes in an entire population.

                they affect phenotype less severely and allow individuals to reproduce and transmit them to future generations.

The promoter of a gene is the part of a gene that marks the:  

                start point of translation

                start point of a gene

                end point of transcription

                end point of translation

Histone proteins:

                control gene expression through chemical interactions that expose parts of the DNA to translation factors.

                bind to tRNAs to prevent translation

                control gene expression through chemical interactions that expose parts of the DNA to transcription factors.

                bind to mRNAs to prevent translation

A retrovirus produces an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which copies the RNA genome into the DNA of the host. This process is the opposite of the central dogma of DNA because:

                a retrovirus mutates too much to follow the central dogma of DNA.

                a retrovirus lacks RNA.

                the central dogma states that DNA is copied into RNA.

                a retrovirus cannot exist in human cells

Which of the following is most correct regarding genes, DNA, and protein?

                A gene is a section of a chromosomal DNA composed of many amino acids.

                DNA is composed of many genes, which are formed from amino acid sequences

                DNA is composed of many amino acids, which encode the protein and genotype

                A gene is a section of DNA whose sequence encodes a particular protein, which is composed of amino acids.

If the sequence of one strand of a DNA molecule is 5' ATGGCAT 3', the sequence of the complementary strand would be:

                5' ATGGCAT 3'

                3' ATGGCAT 5'

                5' TACCGTA 3'

                3' TACCGTA 5'

Interphase consists of:

                mitosis and cytokinesis

                S, G2, and prophase

                G1, S, G2

                prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

The DNA of dizygotic twins is:

                identical in the number and distribution of alleles, but not necessarily identical in gene sequence

                different in the number and distribution of alleles, but identical in gene sequence

                identical in the number and distribution of alleles, and identical in gene sequence

                as alike as the DNA of any two full-siblings

X inactivation is controlled by:

                the XIST gene

                the SRY gene

                the XTASY gene

                the INACT gene

In genomic imprinting, the expression of a genetic disorder depends on:

                the age of the mother when she became pregnant

                whether the trait is X-linked or autosomal

                the number of autosomal genes transmitted

                which parent transmits the disease-causing allele

Greg experiences severe withdrawal symptoms when he stops taking hydrocodone which is a drug he originally took to alleviate his leg pain, but hasn't been able to quit. Greg is exhibiting:

                tolerance

                paranoia

                ideation

                dependence

SSRIs treat depression by:

                inhibiting the production of serotonin

                preventing postsynaptic neurons from releasing serotonin from the synapse

                preventing pre-synaptic neurons from taking up serotonin from the synapse

                releasing endorphins in the plasma membranes of the postsynaptic neurons

Explanation / Answer

An occurrence when a section of a chromosome relocates itself to a non-homologous chromosome is called a/an:

The answer is Translocation mutation

If only one chromosome have this out of two, that organism is called as translocation heterzygote and if both are involved in that translocation that is reffered as translocation homozygote.

If that section of choromosome relocates to a homologues it will an duplication mutation.

a group formed to evaluate moral and ethical concerns arising from the Human Genome Project is:

The answer is ELSI.

ELSI stands for Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications. This ELSI is an integral part of the Human Genome Project which is launched in 1990.

Patterns made by restriction fragments in an agarose gel creates a/an:

The answer is DNA fingerprint.
