6. Who originated the one-gene–one-enzyme hypothesis?
a. Tatum and Beadle
b. Gregor Mendel
c. Watson and Crick
d. Franklin and Wilkins
e. Hershey and Chase

7. You have come across a dog (named Cindy) that does not have a tail. Interestingly, all the puppies produced
by this dog don't have a tail. If the lack of tail is caused by a genetic mutation, where has this mutation most
likely taken place?
a. in Cindy's gametes
b. in the cells that should normally have given rise to Cindy's tail
c. in the cells that should normally have given rise to Cindy's and her puppies' tails
d. in all of Cindy's cells (including her gametes)
e. in a gamete of one of Cindy's parents

8. Which scientists offered the first compelling experimental evidence that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA)?
a. Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty
b. John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka
c. François Jacob and Jacques Monod
d. James Watson and Francis Crick
e. Barbara McClintock and Erwin Chargoff

9. A sample of normal double-stranded DNA was found to have a guanine content of 18%. What is the
expected proportion of adenine?
a. 9%
b. 32%
c. 36%
d. 68%
e. 82%

10. Wild cats (Felis silvestris) and common mice (Mus musculus) are diploid. In wild cats, 2n = 38, while in
common mice, 2n = 40. Based on this information, we can conclude that wild-cat cells have
a. less DNA than common-mouse cells.
b. smaller genomes than common-mouse cells.
c. fewer DNA molecules than common-mouse cells.
d. fewer genes than common-mouse cells.
e. fewer sets of chromosomes than common-mouse cells.

11. Which type of mutation is a unique DNA variant that exists in a child but in neither of its parents?
a. point mutation
b. de novo mutation
c. quantitative trait locus
d. single nucleotide polymorphism
e. dominant allele

12. In one strand of DNA, the nucleotide sequence is 5'-ATGC-3'. The complementary sequence in the other
strand must be
a. 3'-ATGC-5'.
b. 3'-TACG-5'.
c. 5'-ATCG-3'.
d. 5'-CGTA-3'.
e. 5'-TACG-3'.

13. How many different DNA molecules that are eight-nucleotide-pairs long are theoretically possible?
a. 24
b. 32
c. 64
d. 256
e. 65,536

14. Using molecular techniques, researchers have knocked out both copies of gene G in a series of genetically
identical mouse embryos. These mice develop normally, except for their forelimbs, which are missing several
small bones. What can be concluded from the results of this experiment?
a. Gene G encodes a protein that is a crucial component of the forelimbs' small bones in mice.
b. Gene G encodes a protein that is normally only present in the forelimb cells of developing mice.
c. Gene G is necessary for proper development of the forelimbs' small bones in mice.
d. Gene G is normally only present in the forelimb cells of developing mice.
e. Gene G is normally only transcribed in the forelimb cells of developing mice.

15. The process of inserting foreign DNA molecules into the genomes of a recipient organism is called
a. replication.
b. transformation.
c. transcription.
d. translation.
e. ligation.

b. the process by which RNA is processed within a cell.
c. the flow of genetic information within cells from DNA to RNA to protein.
d. how model organisms are used in experiments.
e. the method of gene transfer between organisms.

17. Which of the following is a component of DNA?
a. alanine
b. arginine
c. cysteine
