MCB: All Exam Questions and Answers 2023 with
complete solution;(MCB test bank)
50 multiple choice questions, covering all the topics we've taught you over the course of
the semester. The exam will be split into 4 sections: 1) Proteins (10 points) 2) DNA (10
points), 3) Transcription & Translation (10 points) , and 4) Energy & Metabolism (20
points). The best way to prepare for this exam is to review your old exams and focus on
the "big pictures" of each lecture using the "specifics to know" provided. You can expect
1 or 2 questions per lecture
