ACTIVITY 5: CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

Instruction: Now it’s your time for you to figure this one out on your own! Take time to read,
analyze, and understand the following questions. For this instance, you will not have the chance
to check if you have the correct answers since there are no more keys to correction.

B. 1. He discovered nucleic acids in 1896 while studying the nuclei of white blood cells
a. James Dewey Watson
b. Friedrich Miescher
c. Francis Crick
d. Marie Curie
D. 2. Formation of Deoxyribose + adenine + phosphate group will create ___________.
a. dAMP
b. Nucleotide
c. Nucleoside
d. Both A and B
A. 3. The two segments of DNA are running in a ________ position
a. Antiparallel
b. Parallel
c. Same
d. Both A and C
B. 4. It is the biochemical processes by which DNA molecules procedure exact duplicates of
themselves
a. Translation
b. DNA Replication
c. DNA Duplication
d. Transcription
B. 5. The following are correct in base pairing, except
a. A - T
b. C - T
c. G - C
d. T - A

B. 6. This type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of
one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene.
a. Silent Mutation
b. Missense mutation
c. Deletion
d. Insertion
D. 7. This antibiotic has the ability to bind to the bacterial ribosome subunit, blocking the exit
of a growing peptide chain.
a. Neomycin
b. Streptomycin
c. Terracymin

A. 8. It is the process of remaining introns from an hnRNA molecule and joining the remaining
exons together to form an mRNA molecule.
a. Splicing
b. Translation
c. Transcription
d. Elongation
H. 9. Translation is the process by which DNA directs the synthesis of hnRNA/mRNA
molecules that carry the coded information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription is the
process by which mRNA codons are deciphered and a particular protein is synthesized.
