Document Summary

A: a nucleic acid is a polymer that is made up of monomers called nucleotides. Nu(cid:272)leotides (cid:272)o(cid:374)sist of : a phosphate group, a ribose or deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, phosphate group is bonded to the sugar molecule and the sugar molecule is bonded to the nitrogenous base. Sugar (in a nucleic acid)- an organic compound with a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group. Ri(cid:271)ose has a(cid:374) oh (cid:271)o(cid:374)ded to (cid:1006)" (cid:272)a(cid:396)(cid:271)o(cid:374) (do not lack oxygen) Deo(cid:454)(cid:455)(cid:396)i(cid:271)ose has a(cid:374) h (cid:271)o(cid:374)ded to the (cid:1006)" carbon (lack oxygen) Purines- nitrogenous bases with a double ring structure includes guanine and adenine. Pyrimidines- nitrogenous bases with a single ring structure includes cytosine, thymine, and uracil. How do nucleotides polymerize to form nucleic acids: nucleic acids form when nucleotides polymerize. Phosphodiester linkages- bonds that form between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl group of a sugar of another nucleotide.

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.

B. has a 3' to 5' directionality.

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.

1) What is the difference between maltose and amylose (starch)?

a. Maltose is joined by 1-4 glycosidic linkages, while amylose is joined by 1-6 glycosidic linkages.
b. Maltose is made of glucose in the alpha form, while amylose is made of glucose in the beta form.
c. Maltose is composed of glucose monomers, while amylose is composed of fructose monomers.
d. Maltose is a disaccharide, while amylose is a polysaccharide.
2) What does the â1-4â in â1-4 glycosidic linkageâ mean?
Select one:
a. Each branch of the chain is followed by four monosaccharides.
b. A one-carbon monosaccharide is connected to a four-carbon monosaccharide.
c. The first carbon on one monosaccharide is connected to the fourth carbon on the next monosaccharide.
