WGU BioChem OA Review Questions With Correct Answers

Document Content and Description Below

Males and Females are equally affected Correct Answer Autosomal The process of copying DNA in the lab. Correct Answer Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Template DNA, Nucleotides (dNTPS), DNA Polym... erase, and DNA Primers. Correct Answer What is needed for Polymerase Chain Reaction? Denaturing, Annealing, Elongating Correct Answer What are the three steps of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)? Denaturing (DNA is heated up to separate it) Correct Answer What is the first step of a Polymerase Chain Reaction? Cooling the Polymerase Chain Reaction. Primers stick to the DNA that you want to copy and ADD DNA Polymerase Correct Answer What is Annealing? The Polymerase Chain Reaction is heated and DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides to build a new DNA strand. Correct Answer What is elongating? Ligase Correct Answer What is NOT involved in PCR? It is used to repair damage to bases caused by harmful molecules by removing the base that is damaged and replacing it. #1 GLYCOSYLASES see the damaged DNA. #2 DNA Polymerase puts the right one back #3 DNA Ligase seals it. Correct Answer What is base excision repair (BER)? DNA Glycolysase sees the damage and removes it, DNA polymerase puts the tight base back, DNA ligase seals it back up. Correct Answer What are the 3 steps in base excision repair? 1 Correct Answer How many nucleotides does base excision repair remove? Mismatch Repair (MMR). It is the only one to occur during REPLICATION - DURING THE PROOFREADING Correct Answer What is it called when a large section of the nucleotide is removed from the DNA so that DNA polymerase can try again? (This corrects DNA damage) [Show More]
