Test your basic knowledge |

First Aid: Biochemistry Molecular

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Non homologous end joining






2. CCA AT 3 PRIME END






3. Inhibits by binding to the potassium side






4. More than 1 codon may code for the same amino acid






5. Ribonucleotide reductase






6. RER translation of collagen alpha chains (preprocollagen) usually Gly-X-Y






7. Specific endonucleases release the oligonucleotide containing damaged bases. DNA polymerase and logase fill and resealt eh gap






8. Read froma fixed starting point as a continous sequenecs of bases






9. Brings together 2 ends of DNA fragments no requirement for homology






10. Immotile cilia due to a dyenin arm defect. Results in male nad female inferticility (sperm immotile) - bronchiectasis - and recurrent sinusisits - associated with situs inversus






11. Substituting a pyramidine for a pyrimadine






12. Neurons - skeletal - and cardiac muscle - RBCs






13. Contain the actual genetic information coding for protein






14. Unattached to any membrane; site of cytosolic and organeller prtoeins






15. Lysine/hydroxylysine and combines to form collagen






16. No proofreading function but can initiate chains. RNA poymerase II opens DNA at promoter site






17. Site where negative regulators bind






18. Codes for formyl methionine (f - Met)






19. UGA - UAG - UAA






20. Made from orogate precuror with PRPP added later






21. Site where RNA polymerase and multiple other transciption factors bind to DNA upstream from gene locus (AT rich upstream sequence with TATA and CAAT boxes)






22. H1






23. Unmethylated - newly synthesized string is recognized - mismatched nucleotides are removed and the gap is filled and resealed






24. Three amino acids necessary for purine synthesis= glutamine - aspartate and glycine






25. Cylindrical structure composed of helical array of plymerized dimers of alpha and beta tubulin - flagella - cilia - mitotic spindle - grows slowly collapses quickly






26. Hydroxy proline and hydroxylysine






27. Genetic bone disorder (brittle bone disease) type 1 colalgen - fractures (during birth) 2) Blue sclerae 3) hearing loss 4) dental imperfections 1:10000 may be confused with child abuse






28. The 5prime end (energy for the bond)






29. Bm - kidney - ears and eyes






30. Methionine - which may be removed before translation is completed






31. Anit helminth - act on microtubules






32. Genetic code is conserved throughout evolution






33. The 3 prime hydroxyl of the nascent chain is the target






34. Y shaped region along DNA template where leading and lagging strands are syntehsized






35. Inhibits bacterials dihydrofolate reducatese down thymine






36. Site of secretory protiens (mucus secreting goblet cells and antibody secreting cells)






37. ATP






38. Prokaryotic only. Degrades RNA primer and fills in the gap with DNA (5 prime to 3 prime exonuclease)






39. Unwinds DNA template at replication fork






40. Proline - glycine






41. Enter G1 from G0 when stimulated Hepatocytes/lymphocytes






42. Exocytose procollagen into extracellylar sace






43. Retrograde to microtubules






44. (A - G) 2 rings Pure As Gold






45. Poly adenylation






46. Elastase






47. DNA And RNA synthesized in the 5-3 direction






48. Particular sequnece in genomre where DNA replication begins. May be single (prokaryotes) or multiple (eukaryotes)






49. Prokaryotic only. Elongates leading strand by adding deoxynucleotides to the 3prime end. Elongates laggin strand. 3 prime to 5 prime exonuclease activity






50. Splicing out of introns
