39. The leading and the lagging strands differ in that
(A) synthesize leading strands require RNA primer, but synthesize lagging strands do not require RNA primer.
(B) the leading strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing strand, and the lagging strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 5' end.
(C) the lagging strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the leading strand is synthesized in short fragments that are ultimately stitched together.
(D) the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction.
(E) the leading strand is synthesized at twice the rate of the lagging strand.

35. Which of the following statements about glycolysis is NOT TRUE? (A) Glycolysis takes place in cytosol. (B) The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. (C) Glycolysis will proceed in eukaryotic cells whether oxygen is present or absent. (D) During glycolysis, when glucose is catabolized to pyruvate, most of the energy of glucose is transferred to ADP, forming ATP. (E) In addition to ATP, the end products of glycolysis are NADH and pyruvate.

36. About Calvin cycle, which of the following statement is true? (A) reactions occur within the thylakoid membrane. (B) carbon fixation catalyzed by rubisco is the first step of the reaction. (C) reaction includes split water and release of oxygen. (D) the cycle builds sugar from smaller molecules by using ATP and the reducing power of electrons carried by NADH. (E) photophosphorylation occurs and generates ATP.

37. About mitosis and meiosis, which statement is NOT TRUE? (A) Mitosis conserves the number of chromosome sets, producing cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. (B) Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes sets from two (diploid) to one (haploid), producing cells that differ genetically from each other and from the parent cell. (C) Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells, forming female and male haploid gametes. (D) DNA replication occurs twice in meiosis but once in mitosis. (E) Cell divides twice in meiosis but once in mitosis.

38. The first cloned cat, called Carbon Copy, was a calico, but she looked significantly different from her female parent. Why? (A) The environment, as well as genetics, affects phenotypic variation. (B) Fur color genes in cats are influenced by differential acetylation patterns. (C) X inactivation in the embryo is random and produces different patterns. (D) Cloned animals have been found to have a higher frequency of transposon activation. (E) The telomeres of the parent's chromosomes were shorter than those of an embryo.

40. About split gene and RNA splicing, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? (A) The coding regions are called exons because they are expressed and usually translated into proteins. (B) The other regions called introns. They are noncoding regions, which contain intervening sequences that are nonfunctional. (C) RNA splicing removes introns and joins exons, creating an mRNA molecule with a continuous coding sequence. (D) Alternative RNA splicing is a type of eukaryotic gene regulation in which different RNA molecules are produced from the same primary transcript, depending on which RNA segments are treated as exons and which as introns. (E) Alternative RNA splicing produces a number of different proteins called isoforms from a single gene, therefore significantly expand the repertoire of an eukaryotic genome.

41. Which of the followings were probably considered the first terrestrial organisms? (1) burrowers (2) photosynthetic (3) multicellular (4) prokaryotes (5) eukaryotes (6) plants and their associated fungi (A) 2 and 4 (B) 3 and 5 (C) 1, 3, and 5 (D) 2, 3, and 6 (E) 2, 3, 5, and 6

42. Which two structures play direct roles in permitting bacteria to adhere to each other, or to other surfaces? (1) capsules (2) endospores (3) fimbriae (4) plasmids (5) flagella (A) 1 and 2 (B) 1 and 3 (C) 2 and 3 (D) 3 and 4 (E) 3 and 5

43. Which two genera have members that can evade the human immune system by frequently changing their surface proteins? (1) Plasmodium (2) Trichomonas (3) Paramecium (4) Trypanosoma (5) Entamoeba (A) 1 and 2 (B) 1 and 4 (C) 2 and 3 (D) 2 and 4 (E) 4 and 5

44. Which of the following cells or structures are associated with asexual reproduction in fungi? (A) ascospores (B) basidiospores (C) zygosporangia (D) conidiophores (E) ascocarps
