The genetic material within some viruses is single-stranded DNA. Would this genetic material contain equal amounts of A and T and equal amounts of G and C? Explain.

If DNA was conservatively replicated (as opposed to semi-conservatively), bacterial cells could still regulate DNA replication is through GATC methylation sites within the origin of replication. 

Which statement is not a function of DnaA proteins?

What is the name of the transcription start site?

Assume a particular drug inhibited transcription in bacteria. What are the likely effects of this drug on the cell, and why?

Consider the following DNA sequence, which codes for the first portion of a long protein beginning at the ATG (AUG in mRNA) start codon.  5′ ATG CCC CGC AGT AGG GGG TGG AGA3′ A mutation occurs changing this sequence to: 5′ ATG CCC CGC AGT AGG GAG TGG AGA3′ What type of mutation is this? Explain. Hint: there could be multiple mutations to discuss for this response!

What RNA modification is important for mRNA stability?

Regulatory transcription factors can be modulated by

Which structure is found in eukaryotic chromosomes but not in bacterial chromosomes?

Select the criteria that all genetic material must meet.
