DNA and genetics qustions?

A particular base triplet in the coding strand of DNA is TCA. What would be the triplet in the complementary strand of DNA?





A. AGT





B. TCA





C. AGU





D. GAT





E. CAT





The problem associated with replication of DNA proceeding in the 3’ %26gt; 5’ direction only, is solved by the use of:





A.Complimentary base pairing





B.Replication forks





C.The enzyme that unwinds the DNA, helicase





D.Okazaki fragments





E. The semiconservative replication of the molecule








What type of inheritance pattern is exhibited in a genetic cross if the phenotypes of two unique homozygous parents (AA and aa) are different from the phenotype of a heterozygous (Aa) offspring?





A. Pleiotropy





B.Epistasis





C. incomplete dominance





D. multiple alleles





E. selinkage

DNA and genetics qustions?
1. A is the only sequence complimentary to the given one.





2. I don't like the question, but the only answer that makes any sense at all would be D.





3. If the heterozygote has a phenotype different than either homozygote, you must have a situation of incomplete dominance (C).
Reply:A. AGT





D.Okazaki fragments





C. incomplete dominance
