Evidence suggests that HIV first infected humans in 1931 (it wasn’t until 52 years later, in 1983, that HIV was officially identified as the virus that causes AIDS).  Today, a small percentage of the population carries a trait (mutation) that protects them against HIV infection.  The genes that encode for this HIV-protecting trait ____________.

The TATAA sequence is where ___________ attaches.

Consider the molecule(s) you chose to fill in the first blank in the previous question. The reason why this molecule(s) was used in the Urey-Miller experiment was because ___________.

Shown below are four DNA molecules that have separated in preparation for replication (the 3’ ends are indicated).  Which diagram shows the correct way/orientation that the primers should bind in order to successfully replicate the area located within the dotted box? 

Shown below is the same piece of DNA shown twice. Both DNA strands have already become single-stranded in preparation for protein synthesis. The difference between the two DNA strands is underlined and highlighted in red. The mutation shown here is a ____________. Select all the correct answers and only the correct answers. Hint: You will need to work this out on your blank scratch paper. Also, you will need to use the genetic code provided below.  

Which panel below accurately shows the way in which two complementary nucleic acids bind to one another? 

Evidence suggests that the ___________ inside our cells used to be ____________.

Based on the information in the article above, people who are older have CGI- genes that ___________.

The Urey-Miller experiment showed that it is possible for ______________ to “self-assemble” into ____________.
