Which of the following are used to determine a person’s DNA sequence?

A. Genes

B. Enzymes

C. Hormones

D. Blood types

Answer Explanation:

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity and it is the DNA that make up genes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic and cellular reactions in our bodies. Hormones are responsible for controlling the action of certain cells or organs in our bodies. Blood types are of four types, A, B, AB, and O.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

    Blocking is caused by the deposition of fat or cholesterol that forms plaque on the surface of coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart.

  • Q #3: If a portion of strand of DNA bases reads 5’ AGCTAGCGT 3’, what would the sequence of bases on the complementary strand read?

    A. 5’ UCGAUCGCA 3’

    B. 3’ TCGATCGCA 5’

    C. 5’ TCGUTCGCU 3’

    D. 3’ AGCTAGCGT 5’

    Answer Explanation

    The complimentary base pairing of DNA states that A pairs with T while C pairs with G. From the give sequence, the complimentary DNA strand will be 3’ TCGATCGCA 5’
