1. Base your answer to the Iollowing question on the diagram below and on your knowledge oI biology.

The diagram represents a single-celled organism, such as an amoeba, undergoing the changes shown.
A) replication B) meiosis C) diIIerentiation D) digestion
Process 1 is known as
A) replication B) Iertilization
C) diIIerentiation D) evolution
2. When DNA separates into two strands, the DNA
would most likely be directly involved in
3. Base your answer to the Iollowing question on the
diagram below which represents part oI a DNA
molecule.
A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4
At which location does the DNA molecule "unzip"
during replication?
A) A single-stranded RNA molecule is Iormed.
B) TransIer RNA links to an amino acid.
C) Free nucleotides are bonded together in the
correct sequence.
D) The DNA molecule "unzips" down the middle,
between the base-pairs.
4. Which event takes place Iirst during DNA replication?
5. a) When does a cell have to replicate its DNA?
.
.
.
.
b) Why does the DNA need to be replicated at that
time?
A cell replicates its DNA when it is
getting ready to divide / reproduce.
The DNA needs to replicate at that
time so that each daughter cell can
have its own copy of the DNA.
