A molecule of DNA contains two polymer strands called, made by bonding together many monomers called nucleotides. Name the three parts of every nucleotide. List these terms in order of size from largest to smallest: chromosome, codon, gene, nucleotide. A scientist inserts a radioactively labeled DNA molecule into a bacterium. The bacterium replicates this DNA molecule and distributes one daughter molecule (double helix) to each of two daughter cells. How much radioactivity will the DNA in each of the two daughter cells contain? Why? Which mRNA nucleotide triplet encodes the amino acid tryptophan (see Figure 10.10)? During translation, an amino-acid-conjugated tRNA binds to an mRNA nucleotide triplet via its anticodon. What is the nucleotide sequence of the tryptophan's tRNA anticodon? What is the corresponding original codon on the DNA molecule that the mRNA is transcribed from? Describe the process by which the information in a gene is transcribed and translated into a protein. Correctly use these terms in your description: tRNA, amino acid, start codon, transcription, mRNA, gene, codon, RNA polymerase, ribosome, translation, anticodon, peptide bond, stop codon. Match the following molecules with the cellular process or processes in which they are primarily involved:
  1. ribosomes - translation
  2. tRNA - translation
  3. DNA polymerases - DNA replication
  4. RNA polymerase - transcription
  5. mRNA - transcription and translation

D is not a correct answer. Is A correct? Please give the correct answer and explain. Two E. coli strains (Neither have an F' plasmid) are co-cultured in the same flask. One is Str Thr+ and the other is Gen Thr (Str = Streptomycin, Thr = Threonine, Gen = Gentamycin). The culture is then plated on minimal media that is supplemented with gentamycin only (not threonine), and a few colonies grow. What sort of genetic exchange is most likely occurring?
  1. transduction
  2. electroporation
  3. transformation
  4. conjugation
