To ensure you are fully prepared, this workbook tests your knowledge across all major modules of the BCH 216 curriculum:
- Nucleic Acid Chemistry: Questions on DNA/RNA structure, purines, pyrimidines, and phosphodiester bonds.
- Central Dogma & DNA Replication: Test your understanding of transcription, translation, mRNA, tRNA, Okazaki fragments, and DNA polymerase functions.
- Xenobiotic Metabolism: Practice questions on Phase I (oxidative) and Phase II (conjugation) reactions, Cytochrome P450 enzymes, and drug detoxification.
- Heme Degradation: Review the breakdown of heme to bilirubin, the role of heme oxygenase, and clinical correlates like jaundice.
- Biochemistry of Hormones: Questions covering peptide vs. steroid hormones, second messengers (cAMP, IP3), and hormone response elements (HRE).
- Genetics & Recombinant DNA Technology: Test your knowledge on chromosomes, alleles, mutations, PCR, restriction enzymes, and gene cloning.
Sample Questions
- At lower temperature, melted strands of DNA as a result of denaturation are re-associated in a process called _________________________.
- Heme structure includes a _________________________ ring bound as a tetradentate ligand to a central _________________________ atom.
- An example of a biotransformation reaction harmful to the body is the conversion of _________________________ to vinyl chloride epoxide, which binds to DNA and RNA, leading to liver cancer.
