Unless otherwise noted, standard multiple choice questions are worth 1.5 points each. True/false questions are
worth 1 point each. Other point values are shown. For multiple choice and matching questions choose the best
response.
1. (2 pts) Whish of the following statements are correct? Select all that apply. Minus one for the first
incorrect response. Minus two for two or more incorrect responses.
o Prokaryotes have a linear chromosome that is smaller than that of eukaryotes.
o Because eukaryotes have larger chromosomes, each chromosome has multiple ori sites to allow for
faster duplication of the chromosome.
o When a chromosome is being synthesized, prokaryotes will have two replication forks, whereas
eukaryotes will have more than four replication forks.
o The semiconservative model for DNA synthesis holds true for eukaryotes, but not for prokaryotes.
1. (1.5 pts) There are many proteins involved in DNA replication. Name the protein that relieves the strain in
the double helix of DNA as it is being synthesized.

2. ______________________________ is accessible for having its genes expressed. This DNA is often in the
_____________________________ form.
A. Euchromatin / 30-nm
B. Euchromatin / 300-nm
C. Heterochromatin / 10-nm
D. Heterochromatin / 30-nm
E. Heterochromatin / 300-nm
3. Which DNA polymerase is involved in the elongation of the leading strand during DNA synthesis?
A. DNA polymerase I
B. DNA polymerase II
C. DNA polymerase III
D. Both A and C
E. A, B and C

Please answer the remaining questions on the reverse side.

4. Telomerase is an enzyme found in eukaryotic _________________ cells. It functions in

_________________________.
A. germ / repairing base pair mismatch mutations
B. germ / restoring the length of repeating nonsense nucleotides at the end of chromosomes
C. germ / actively shorten the length of chromosomes are each round of DNA synthesis
D. somatic / repairing base pair mismatch mutations
E. somatic / restoring the length of repeating nonsense nucleotides at the end of chromosomes
F. somatic / actively shorten the length of chromosomes are each round of DNA synthesis
5. The process of replicating a chromosome begins with
A. helicase unwinding the DNA helix.
B. primase synthesizing an RNA primer.
C. proteins recognize ori sites and open the DNA helix.
D. the binding of ss binding proteins.
E. the reading of the DNA template strand by a DNA polymerase.
6. (0.5 pt) DNA is read from the ________ (3 or 5) to the ________ (3 or 5) direction.
