- 1. Multiple Choice
A region of eukaryotic DNA consists of over fifty repeats of the same sequence of twelve bases. Where is this repetitive region least likely to be found?
An exon
An intron
A polymerase binding site
Satellite DNA
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which feature distinguishes eukaryotic genomes from prokaryotic genomes?
Eukaryotic genomes contain non-coding sequences called introns.
Eukaryotic genomes contain no short repetitive sequences of DNA.
Eukaryotic genomes have genes aggregated into operons.
Eukaryotic genomes possess plasmids.
- 3. Multiple Choice
What describes common features of the telomere and the centromere?
Both areas have proteins associated with them.
Both are made of DNA with high incidence of adenine and thymine.
Both DNA sequences are conserved throughout the life of an organism.
During interphase, DNA replication takes place simultaneously in both regions.
- 4. Multiple Choice
The small sequence of 11 base pairs shown in the diagram is conserved in the DNA of chromosome centromeres in all species. Mutations within the underlined triplet inactivate the centromere.
-T-G-A-T-T-T-C-C-G-A-A-
-A-C-T-A-A-A-G-G-C-T-T-
What is the function of this DNA sequence?
It codes for a spindle.
It is non-coding, but provides an attachment site for a spindle protein.
It codes for RNA.
It distinguishes one chromosome from another.
- 5. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is characteristic of genes and gene regulation in both bacteria and eukaryotes?
Promoter
Non-coding DNA with coding sequences
Enhancer
DNA located in a nucleus
- 6. Multiple Choice
Which type of control of gene expression is commonly found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
post transcriptional
post translational
transcriptional
translational
- 7. Multiple Choice
Through differential mRNA processing, eukaryotes
reinforce gene inactivation
produce related but different proteins in different tissues
amplify genes to meet the requirement of high levels of a gene product
bind transcription factors to enhancers to activate transcription
- 8. Multiple Choice

Row A
Row B
Row C
Row D
- 9. Multiple Choice

In which order do they occur?
1, 3, 2, 4
2, 4, 1, 3
3, 1, 4, 2
4, 2, 3, 1
- 10. Multiple Choice
What is an example of translational control of gene expression?
activation of proteins by folding or enzymatic cleavage
addition of chemical groups, such as phosphate groups, to free amino acids in the cytoplasm
binding of protein factors to specific sequence in mRNA preventing ribosomes attaching
formation of disulfide bridges in the protein being formed
