B ATCG
C TACG
D GCAT

Explanation / Answer

1 During transcription, the base adenine in DNA pairs with the base ____ in the new mRNA.

Answer is D uracil

Note adenine always pair with thymine but in mRNA instead of thymine uracil is present

2 DNA segments in eukaryotic cells which carry information for protein synthesis are called

Answer is b) exons

3 . Viruses infect cells by

Answer is c) injecting their nucleic acid into cells

Note : virus infects the cell by attaching fibers of its protein tail to a specific receptor site on the cell wall and then injecting the nucleic acid into the host, leaving the empty capsid outside.

4 To which of the following do amino acids bind during protein synthesis?

Answer is b) tRNA

5 Chemicals which cause mutations are called

Answer is a )mutagens

6 What symptoms should an individual that has been stung by an insect exhibit that indicates anaphylactic shock?

Answer is b) shortness of breath and swelling in the throat

7 phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar- is an example of a ____ backbone.

Answer is c) nucleic acid

8 A codon is a sequence of ____ nucleotide bases that represents a code word on mRNA molecules.

Answer is c) 3

9 Which of the following drugs should a mother avoid while pregnant?

Answer is d)all the choices
