Question Type: Essay
47) Describe the structure of DNA according to the Watson - Crick Model.
Answer:
Difficulty: Easy
experiments.
Solution: Watson and Crick determined that DNA was double-stranded in structure with the
strands being antiparallel to one another. That is, one strand arranged in the 5’ to 3’ direction and
the complementary strand running in the 3’ to 5’ direction. The strands are polymers of four
deoxynucleotides covalently bonded to one another via the 5’ phosphate of the deoxyribose of
one nucleotide to the deoxyribose 3’ hydroxyl of the adjacent nucleotide. The other important
part of their model is base pairing between the two strands. The base adenine always pairs with
thymine and guanine always pairs with cytosine through hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding
holds the two strands together, forming a coil or helix type structure.
48) Describe the process of DNA replication initiation in Bacteria.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: The initiation of DNA replication occurs at a specific site on the chromosome called
the oriC. The oriC site contains several 9-base pair repeats that serve as binding sites for the
DnaA proteins. Several DnaA proteins bind and interact with 13-base pair repeats, causing the
DNA to unwind, and strand separation to occur. The enzymes DNA helicase and gyrase will
move into this site unwinding the DNA further. Single-stranded DNA binding protein will bind
to the unwound single stranded DNA to prevent the DNA from winding back upon itself. A
primase will now be able to synthesize a short primer strand of RNA to facilitate the binding of
the DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase will begin to catalyze the addition of deoxynucleotides
starting at the primer.
49) Describe the process of mRNA processing in eukaryal cells.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: RNA polymerase II will transcribe the pre-mRNA in the eukaryal nucleus.
Immediately after RNA transcription the RNA will be processed to form a functional mRNA.
The 5’ end of the RNA molecule will be capped with 5’-methyl guanosine, and the 3’ end will be
polyadenylated by a poly(A)-polymerase, creating a long polyA-tail. Most eukaryal RNAs also
contain untranslated region called introns. These will be removed, leaving behind the exons,
which will be joined together to create a functional mRNA.
50) Why is the genetic code considered degenerate?
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: The genetic code is referred to as being degenerate because more than one codon
represents an amino acid. In addition, the multiple codons that represent a particular amino acid
usually only differ in the third base.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
