17. A patient presents with α-thalessemia. Below is the mRNA transcribed from the patient's α-globin gene. What is the most likely result in this individual? Note: The ellipse (...) represents a continuation of the RNA beyond the sequence you are given.

(A) defective transcription initiation
(B) normal protein, this is a silent mutation
(C) defective translation initiation
(D) shorter protein, this is a nonsense mutation
(E) Glycine → Serine mutation in the protein

2. Sister chromatid is: (A) The same thing as homologous chromosomes. (B) A pair of chromosomes of the same kind. (C) Identical copies of the same chromosome attached at the centromere. (D) Always haploid. (E) Always diploid.

3. Which of following RNA participates in ribosome biogenesis? (A) small nucleolar RNA (B) transfer RNA (C) small nuclear RNA (D) microRNA (E) small interfering RNA

4. Which of the following enzymes is the major processive enzyme in leading strand synthesis during eukaryotic DNA replication? (A) DNA polymerase α (alpha) (B) DNA polymerase β (beta) (C) RNA polymerase γ (gamma) (D) DNA polymerase ε (epsilon) (E) Telomerase

6. If a replicating cell encounters significant DNA damage during S phase, what is the most likely result? (A) It will arrest in the S phase checkpoint and undergo repair (B) It will immediately trigger apoptosis and die (C) It will utilize telomerase to extend past the damage (D) It will utilize bypass polymerases to complete S phase (E) It will undergo a reductive division

7. Which of the following is not part of a zinc-finger motif? (A) zinc ion (B) proline residue (C) cysteine residue (D) histidine residue

9. Cells, when infected by a DNA virus, can transcribe both stands of the viral DNA and process it into ~21 nt single stranded fragments that can be loaded into protein complexes which target viral protein encoding transcripts for degradation. Which statement below correctly characterizes this process? (A) This siRNA silencing results in a gene knock out. (B) This siRNA silencing results in a gene knock down. (C) This miRNA silencing results in a gene knock out. (D) This miRNA silencing results in a gene knock down. (E) This miRNA silencing results in reversible gene regulation

10. The Central Dogma of molecular biology states that one gene leads to one transcript and results in one protein product. Which of the following processes would refute this dogma? (A) Ordered splicing. (B) RNA editing. (C) Telomerase activity. (D) Translation start site recognition. (E) Polyadenylation of new transcripts.
