I. Evaluating QUIZ: DNA vs RNA

Learning Part 1
Direction: Label each vocabulary word as describing DNA or RNA
_________ 1. Its main job is to transfer the genetic code need for the
creation of proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome.
(DNA)
_________ 2. Single helix (RNA)
_________ 3. Contains deoxyribose sugar (DNA)
_________ 4. A, G, C, T (DNA)
_________ 5. Contains ribose sugar (RNA)
_________ 6. Found in nucleus and cytoplasm (RNA)
_________ 7. A, G, C, U (RNA)
_________ 8. Primary job is long term storage and transmission of
genetic information (RNA)
_________ 9. Double Helix (DNA)
_________ 10. Found in nucleus of eukaryotic cells (DNA)

Part 2
Multiple Choice

a. Uracil, Thymine, Adenine, and Guanine
b. Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine, and Guanine
c. Thymine, Adenine, Lytosine, and Guanine
d. Thymine, Uracil, Lytosine, and Guanine

2. Given the base sequence strand, write the base sequence of the
complimentary DNA strand. (ATGCCT)
a. TACGGA
b. TANGGA
c. UACGGU
d. TUCGGA

3. What is the name of the fragments of the strand illustrated?

a. Leading Strand
b. Fragmenting strand
c. Okazaki Fragment
d. Orochimaru Fragments

4. What enzyme breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between two

strands of DNA?

a. Histone
b. Helicase
c. Exonuclease
d. Nucleus

5. Why does DNA need to replicate?

a. to produce new DNA
b. to make RNA
c. to replace old DNA
d. to pass genetic information on to new generation
 J. Additional ACTIVITY: Arrange the steps
activities for Let the students watch additional video about DNA replication. Let the
Application or students arrange the following steps of DNA Replication by writing the
remediation number of the correct order.

DNA Replication: https://youtu.be/s3nDTGg73AU

Order Steps
2 Single Strand Binding Proteins attach to the halves and keeps
the DNA strands separated.
5 DNA Polymerase III adds the nucleotides.
1 At the origin of replication, Helicase unwinds the hydrogen
bonds and separates DNA in half.
6 DNA Polymerase I replace primer.
3 Leading and Lagging strands are formed.
4 RNA Primase adds the primer to both strands.
7 DNA Ligase stitches the gaps in lagging strand.
8 Termination: 2 DNA molecules are produced.
