Chapter 7 Post-Lecture Quiz Question 1

Part A
Which of the following enzymes is responsible for "unzipping" a DNA molecule in preparation for its replication?

Hint 1.

This enzyme is able to "unzip" DNA molecules by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotide
bases, exposing single-stranded DNA that is ready for replication.

ANSWER:

DNA ligase

DNA polymerase

DNA helicase

primase

Correct

Chapter 7 Post-Lecture Quiz Question 5

Part A
How does genotype determine phenotype?

Hint 1. Gene Function

The genotype of an organism is the actual genes it uses to create the physical structures (phenotype).

ANSWER:

https://session.masteringmicrobiology.com/myct/assignmentPrintView?assignmentID=1843206 9/10
3/31/2019 Chapter 07 Homework Part I

Through the use of repressor genes, an individual can consciously create the physical features (phenotype)
desired.

The genotype includes all of the DNA of an individual and, therefore, provides information to make all phenotype
structures.

The genotype directly gives instructions to make the proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids used to build the
organism.

The genotype gives instructions for the structural, enzymatic, and regulatory proteins which result in the
phenotype.

Correct
