How many different types of nucleotides are there in DNA?

A. One

B. Two

C. Four

D. Eight

Answer Explanation:

There are four different nucleotides in DNA. Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, composed of five- carbon sugars, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Nucleotides make up both DNA and RNA. They are essential for the recording of an organism's genetic information, which guides the actions of the various cells of the body.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #1: Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by ________

    A. Lowering the potential energy of the products

    B. Separating inhibitors from products

    C. Forming a complex with the products

    D. Lowering the activation energy of the reaction

    Answer Explanation

    Enzymes act as catalysts for biochemical reactions. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction, but rather lowers the activation energy for that reaction. The potential energy of the substrate and the product remain the same, but the activation energy-the energy needed to make the reaction progress can be lowered with the help of an enzyme.

  • Q #2: Given that there are over 100 million residential addresses in the United States, which of the following best describes a flaw of this survey as it is described?

    A. There were not enough age groups to show a trend based on age.

    B. The addresses were chosen randomly rather than strategically

    C. The distribution of ages in the sample did not reflect the actual population

    D. Each response represents only one person per address

    Answer Explanation

    While the random selection and large number of surveys sent out were a good start, to truly study the relationship between age and screen usage, it would have been better to have a few more age groups or just a direct age value from each participant rather than four large categories. As far as whether the age distribution accurately reflected the population, we don't have enough information to say if that was a problem or not. Also, the fact that each response is from just one person at the address is not a flaw but a reasonable way to get a good variety of responses

  • Q #3: Where is the gastrocnemius vein in relation to the femoral vein?

    A. Lateral

    B. Distal

    C. Superior

    D. Ventral

    Answer Explanation

    The gastrocnemius vein is found in the calf. The femoral vein is found in the proximal anterior thighs/pelvis.

    Since the gastrocnemius vein is found below the femoral vein it is distal or inferior to the femoral vessel.
