Document Summary

Nature of chemical subunits in dna and rna: nucleic acids are macromolecules composed of repeating subunits called nucleotides, each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar, or pentose, and a cyclic nitrogen containing compound called a base. The dna structure showed a highly organized, two stranded molecule. Chromosome structure in prokaryotes and viruses: prokaryotes have only one set of genes. Chemical composition of eukaryotic chromosomes: chromatin (the complex of the dna, chromosomal proteins, and other chromosome constituents isolated from the nuclei) consists primarily of dna with lesser amounts of. Bre driven by nucleosomal interactions: histone h1 involved two models that describe the substructure: the solenoid and the zig-zag models. 30 nm bre is the basic structural unit of the: metaphase chromosome (dna in its most condensed form, attachment of the 30 nm bre at many positions to a (nonhistone) protein scaffold.

QUESTION 1. Compared to eukaryotic genomes, only prokaryotic genomes:

A. contain DNA organized by histones.

B. contain usually one, circular chromosome.

C. contain plasmid DNA.

D. have chromosomes contained in a nucleus.

QUESTION 2. Azathioprine is a drug that may be prescribed to transplant recipients to reduce the chance of tissue rejection reactions. In its active state, it acts as a purine analogue, inhibiting DNA biosynthesis. This means that 6-mercaptopurine will be inserted in place of a purine containing nucleotides during DNA replication. Given this drug's mode of action, you would expect it to be incorporated into DNA in place of:

A. nucleotides containing guanine or cytosine.

B. nucleotides containing adenine or thymine.

C nucleotides containing adenine or guanine.

D. nucleotides containing guanine nucleotide or uracil.

QUESTION 3. RNA is distinguished from DNA because only RNA:

A. typically exists as a single-stranded molecule.

C. is composed of nucleotides that contain the sugar deoxyribose.

D. is composed of nucleotides that contain the nitrogen bases T, C, G, and A.

QUESTION 4. How are RNA nucleotides different from DNA nucleotides? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

A. RNA nucleotides do not contain thymine.

B. RNA nucleotides use the sugar ribose, while DNA nucleotides do not.

C. RNA nucleotides lack phosphate.

D. RNA nucleotides incorporate pyrimidine nitrogen bases, while DNA nucleotides only incorporate purine nitrogen bases.
