2. Is the genetic code universal to all organisms?

  • No, however it is widespread and generally codons always code for the same amino acid in every organism but this is not always the case
  • Yes, every codon codes for the same amino acid in every organism
  • No, the amino acids that a codon codes for is different in every organism

3. During transcription, what is the enzyme which binds free RNA nucleotides to complementary exposed bases on the template strand of DNA?

  • DNA Hydrolase
  • DNA Polymerase
  • RNA Polymerase
  • DNA Ligase
  • RNA Ligase

  • DNA Mutation
  • Chromosome Mutation
