    The key takeaways are that DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides that pair through hydrogen bonding and DNA replication, transcription, and translation are the three main processes that use this base pairing to make copies of DNA and synthesize proteins.

    The three main processes involved in DNA replication are initiation, elongation, and termination.

    The three main steps in transcription are initiation, elongation, and termination.

    Chapters 5 (Nucleic acids), 16 & 17 Worksheet: (Max Marks: 20% - Part of Final Exam)

    1. What do the letters DNA stand for? … and RNA?

    Deoxyribonucleic Acid Ribonucleic Acid

    2. The two scientists credited with discovering the structure of DNA James Watson and Francis
    Crick

    3. DNA is a polymer, made up of many repeating monomers called nucleotides.

    4. Each nucleotide is made up of 3 parts; they are nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and a
    phosphate group.

    5. Give 3 differences between DNA and RNA:


    DNA RNA
    1. DNA is double-stranded RNA is single-stranded

    2. Contains a deoxyribose sugar Contains ribose as sugar

    3. Contains thymine Contains uracil

    6. What does Chargaff’s rule for complimentary base pairing state?


    DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine. A purine always
    pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa.

    7. One nucleotide is bonded to the next via phosphodiester bonds. One base is bonded to its
    compliment via hydrogen bonds.

    8. What is….?
    a. Replication: a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA
    molecules

    b. Transcription: the synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA

    c. Translation: the synthesis of a polypeptide, which occurs under the direction of mRNA.
    10. Where in the cell do the following processes occur?
    a. Replication – nucleus
    b. Transcription – in the nucleus
    c. Translation – ribosomes

    11. What happens during the following events?

    Transcription Translation
    1. Initiation RNA polymerase binds to Ribosome gets together with
    promoter. Signals DNA to mRNA and the first tRNA
    unwind so the enzyme can
    read the bases in one of the
    DNA strands.
    2. Elongation Addition of nucleotides to the Amino acids are brought to
    mRNA strand. RNA the ribosome by tRNA and
    polymerase reads unwound linked together to form a
    DNA and builds the mRNA chain.
    molecule using
    complementary base strands.
    3. Termination End of transcription and Finished polypeptide is
    occurs when RNA released to go and do its job
    polymerase crosses a in the cell.
    termination sequence in the
    gene. mRNA strand is
    complete and detaches from
    DNA.

    12: Give the function of the following enzymes and mention the process they are a part of:

    Enzyme Process Function

    RNA polymerase Transcription Attaches to a particular DNA sequence


    called the promoter. Reads template in 3’ to
    5’ direction
    DNA polymerase III Replication Synthesize DNA from 5’ to 3’ end on the
    leading and lagging strand and has exo
    nuclease activity from 3’ to 5’ end for proof
    reading
    Ligase Replication Repairs irregularities or breaks in the
    backbone of double-stranded DNA
    molecules.
    Helicase Replication Untwist the double helix at the replication
    forks.
    Primase Replication Start an RNA strand from scratch and adds
    RNA nucleotides one at a time using the
    parental DNA as a template.
    Topoisomerase Replication Corrects “overwinding” ahead of
    replication forks by breaking, swiveling,
    and rejoining DNA strands.
    DNA Polymerase I Replication Catalyze the elongation of new DNA at a
    replication fork. Adds nucleotides only to
    the free 3’ end of a growing strand

    13. Give the complimentary DNA strand sequence: 5’-ATGC-3’


    DNA compliment: TACG

    14. Give the complimentary RNA strand sequence: 5’-ATGC-3’


    RNA compliment: UACG
