FALSE. 2

A protein called Tus facilitates the initiation of replication in E. coli.

TRUE

Complementary base-pairing rules mean that, given one strand of DNA, the base sequence of the other strand can be determined.

TRUE

DNA ligase joins Okazaki fragments together after the RNA primers are replaced with DNA.

TRUE

DNA polymerases require both a template and a primer to initiate synthesis of new DNA.

TRUE

DNA synthesis during replication is initiated from RNA primers.

TRUE

During translation initiation in prokaryotes, 165 rRNA base-pairs with a piece of sequence in mRNA to position a ribosome at the start codon.

TRUE

During translation initiation in prokaryotes, the initiator tRNA (f-met) binds to the P-site of a ribosome.

TRUE

TRUE

Gene expression is one of the research focuses in molecular genetics.

TRUE

Griffith demonstrated that a transforming chemical from dead bacteria could change the genetic information of living bacteria.

TRUE

If a double stranded DNA molecule is 30% G, then C must also be 30%. The remaining 40% must be A and T with 20% of each.

TRUE

In prokaryotes, rho-independent transcription termination depends on a secondary structure formed in the RNA that is being transcribed.

TRUE

In transcription, nucleotides are always added to the 3' end of the elongating strand.

TRUE

Initiation of transcription does not require a primer.

TRUE

Intron cleavage and exon splicing are both mediated by the spliceosome.

TRUE

Multiple forms of a gene are called alleles.

TRUE

Multiple protein products are often produced from single eukaryotic genes.

TRUE

RNA can form a secondary hairpin structure.

TRUE

RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule instead of a hydrogen-bonded double strand like DNA.

TRUE

Regulatory promoter for eukaryotic RNA polymerase II is immediately upstream of the core promoter.

TRUE

Ribosomes move along an mRNA in the 5' to3' direction.

TRUE

The different types of eukaryotic RNA polymerases recognize different gene's promoter sequences.

TRUE

The function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases is to attach amino acids to tRNAs.

The helicase activity of rho protein primarily causes termination of transcription.

TRUE

There are 64 different codons, which encode 20 amino acids and 3 stop codons.
