2. | Ribonucleoside triphosphates |
3. | Deoxyribonucleoside triphospahtes |

A segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide is most accurately defined as:
1. | Operon | 2. | Gene |
3. | Recon | 4. | Cistron |
The central dogma of molecular biology was proposed by:
1. | Francis Crick | 2. | James Watson |
3. | Rosalind Franklin | 4. | Erwin Chargaff |
The unequivocal proof that DNA is the genetic material was provided by:
1. | Avery, Macleod, and McCarty |
2. | Hershey and Chase |
3. | Meselson and Stahl |
4. | Watson and Crick |
Hershey and Chase proved DNA as the genetic material in their experiment because :
1. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive. |
2. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive. |
3. | Both 1 and 2 are correct. |
4. | Both 1 and 2 are incorrect. |
DNA replication is correctly described as:
1. | Semi-conservative and Continuous |
2. | Semi-conservative and Discontinuous |
3. | Conservative and Continuous |
4. | Semi-conservative and Semi-discontinuous |

Histones are:
1. | Positively charged and basic amino acids |
2. | Negatively charged and basic proteins |
3. | Positively charged and acidic proteins |
4. | Not found in bacteria |
In eukaryotes RNA polymerase II transcribes:
1. | mRNA | 2. | rRNA |
3. | tRNA | 4. | hnRNA |
