A. DNA Polymerase B. ATP Synthase C. RNA Polymerase D. Transformation principle What is the name of the enzyme that initiates transcription?

A. IntronsB. Anticodons C. NucleosomesD. Chromosomes Eukaryotic mRNA molecules are occasionally interspersed with non- coding sequences that must be removed before protein synthesis. These are ________.

A. tRNAB. rRNA C. mRNAD. None of them What class of RNA binds free amino acids and carries them to ribosomes?

A. Insertion Sickle-shaped red blood cells result from a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin. This mutation results in sickle-cell anemia. A partial sequence of bases from a normal hemoglobin gene and a sequence that results in sickle-cell anemia are shown below. What type of mutation is depicted in this sequence? B. Substitution C. DeletionD. Frameshift

Which of the following polypeptides is coded for by the mRNA sequence 5’ AUGGUUAAACGACAAUCC 3’? A. Val-lys-Phe-Gly-Ser B. Met-Val-Lys-Arg-Gln-Ser C. Met-Asp-Phe-Ala-Arg D. Ile-Gln-Lys-Asp-Gly-Leu-Ser

A. The synthesis of new proteins B. The breakdown of waste material C. The conversion of radiant energy to glucose D. The replication of nucleic acid Which cellular process takes place in the ribosomes that are bound to the endoplasmic reticulum?

A. Reverses the order of bases in a DNA strand B. Produces a triplet that codes for the same amino acid as the original strand C. Replaces a base with complementary base D. Allows the total number of bases in a DNA sequence to remain the same A mutation is least likely to affect a cell when the mutation —

A. The pigment in butterfly wings absorbs light from the environment. In 1917 the biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan conducted studies in which he kept some caterpillars in the dark and placed some others under red, green, or blue lights. Exposure to red light produced butterflies with brightly colored wings. Exposure to green light resulted in dark-colored wings. Exposure to blue light or no light resulted in pale-colored wings. What was the most likely conclusion of Morgan’s research? B. The phenotypic expression of wing shape depends on color pigmentation in butterflies C. The genes regulating wing color in butterflies are influenced by environmental factors D. Caterpillars exposed to red and green light are healthier than caterpillars exposed to no light or blue light.

A. Production of steroids and hormones The many different functions and behaviors of living organisms are essentially based on the performance of their cells. The cell’s performance in turn is dependent upon the B. Production of many varieties of polypeptides and proteins C. Production of correct membranes D. Ability to reproduce

End of Game Instructions & answer slides follow

Setting up Game Use the Edit menu and Replace… to insert questions and answers. In the Find box, type in “Question X” (where X is the question number, 1 through 15). In the Replace box, type in the question. Then, enter “Answer X-1” and the first answer, “Answer X-2” and the second answer, etc. (Capitalize as indicated.) To set up the 50-50 Lifeline slides (Slides 37-51): –1. Select the first answer to be eliminated by clicking on the text of the answer. Select the text and delete it. (This should leave a blank hexagon.) –2.Repeat with the second eliminated answer, and then repeat with each further slide. To set up the Answer slides (Slides 21-35): –1. Select the hexagon behind the correct answer by right-clicking on the hexagon. (Click above or below the answer text to avoid selecting the text instead. Once selected, the hexagon should have a rectangular border around it.) Select Format Autoshape; choose the Colors and Lines tab, choose the Fill color and change its color to light green. (The green should be provided in the bottom row of colors.) –2. Repeat with each further slide. Slides 52-66 are the Money Won slides. On the title screen, the finger icon will link to a Fastest Finger slide, if you would like to use it. To set up the Fastest Finger slide (Slide 70), fill in the Fastest Finger question, and the four answers. On the answer slide (Slide 71), replace each orange question mark with the letter of the appropriate answer in order, starting at the top. Fill in the answer corresponding to each letter accordingly. Clicking on the ? icon on Slide 70 will go to the answer slide; clicking on the house icon will link to the main game board. USAGE NOTE: the Fastest Finger question slide includes the music for Fastest Finger; this music is 25 seconds long. Use the music as a timer; when the music ends, go to the answer slide.

Setting up Game The Phone-a-Friend lifeline can be used to ask one other student to help out. Clicking on the Phone-a-Friend lifeline icon will link to a 30-second timer slide. The timer will begin on a mouse-click, and will count down to zero. Once the slide reaches zero, clicking on the curved arrow icon will return to the previous slide (the question slide). USAGE NOTE: the question and answers are not visible during the clock countdown, and returning to the question slide before the clock finishes will reset the clock. The Ask-the-Audience lifeline can be used to ask the entire class, who gives their votes for the correct answer by letter. Clicking on the Ask-the-Audience lifeline icon will link to a chart slide. Clicking on the chart will open Microsoft Excel; click on the “Enter Scores Here” tab to enter the class votes for each answer, then click on the “Chart” tab so the chart will be visible. Go to the File menu and choose Close and Return… to return to the slide show. Clicking on the curved arrow icon will return to the previous slide (the question slide). ICONS: –? Takes you to the answer slide –Star Takes you from the answer slide to the Money Won slide –House Takes you back to the Cash Board If using the game for another person or another class, close the game and re-open it (this is to reset the links on the game board back to orange).

During protein synthesis, the amino acid sequence is determined by the _________ A. Signals Sent by the plasma membrane D. Number of mitochondria in the cell C. ATP produced by mitochondria B. Genetic code in the DNA molecule
