____ 5. What was the contribution of Rosalind Franklin to the understanding of DNA structure?
A) complimentary bases are A&C, G&T C) discovered links between DNA and cancer
B) genes have introns and exons D) X-ray pictures of DNA molecules
_____ 6. Why was Watson & Crick’s discovery of DNA’s shape controversial?
A) they were Americans working in a British university
B) they used Rosalind Franklin’s research without telling her

_____ 7. If one strand of DNA has the code CGGAT, what will be the code on the other side?
A) CGGAT B) GCCUA C) GCCTA D) TAGGC
______8. Why must the covalent bonds on the outside of the DNA molecule be stronger than the hydrogen bonds
that holds the 2 strands together?
A) strong covalent bonds make it easy to rearrange the DNA sequence
B) weaker inside bonds make a double helix shape
C) strong outside bonds keep the bases in the right order when the strands separate
_____ 9.How does DNA replication work?
A) the double helix twists and coils into chromosomes that divide in half
B) the bases pull apart and get re-shuffled into a new sequence
C) helicase enzyme “unzips” the 2 strands, and DNA polymerase adds on the matching bases
