Biol 1610 - Class 6: Biomolecules and Nucleic Acids Pre-class Questions & Answers 1 / 2 An organic molecule must contain which of the elements? What unique property of carbon enables this element to be "life's chemical backbone"? Could silicon-based life ever exist within the universe? Carbohydrates and proteins are two types of macromolecules. Which functional characteristic of proteins distinguishes them from carbohydrates? Which biomolecule is defined by a physical property i...

Biol 1610 - Class 7- Proteins Pre-Class Qs&As 1) True or False: People with Fatal familial insomnia harbor the prion gene mutation in only the cells of the thalamus. - Answer-False 2) Fatal familial insomnia is a prion-based genetic disorder of the brain. Which of the following evidence supports this theory? -Patients with this disease have specific mutations in this gene. -The disease runs in families -Prion protein aggregates are seen in the cells of the thalamus of patients. -All of...

Biol 1610 - Class 11- Replication Pre-class Questions & Answers You find a way to attach either a red or green fluorescent dye to nucleotides. Double-stranded DNA molecules with both strands labeled red fluoresce red, those with both strands labeled green fluoresce green, and those with one strand labeled red and the other green fluoresce yellow. You grow human cells in the presence of "red" nucleotides until both DNA strands of all chromosomes fluoresce red. You then allow one round ...

Biol 1610 - Class 8- Energy and Enzymes Pre-class Qs&As Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide called ROUND-UP. What common biological molecule does glyphosate resemble? - ANS-an amino acid How do you think round-up ready plants avoid being killed by glyphosate? - ANS-They are genetically modified by incorporating different version of EPSPS that doesn't bind glyphosate. Glyphosate affects plants because it: - ANS-binds to a biosynthetic enzyme and inhibits its activity. Th...
