Answer: B
NADH transfers its electrons to electron transport proteins in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Recall that oxidative phosphorylation involves the production of ATP using energy from the redox reaction of the electron transport chain. The electron transport proteins have increasing electron affinities, and the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP is assoicated with electron transfers between proteins.

Staphylococci are spherical bacteria found in clusters. Streptococci are spherical bacteria found in chains or pairs. Rods are rod-shaped bacteria, whereas spirilla are spiral-shaped bacteria

I sent you a private message, but yes these questions are all from High Yield Biology including the great explanations. I highly recommend this book. It is only 200 pages; however, it contains far more detail then Kaplan or Barrons.
I would really appreciate some feedback on this thread. Is it helpful or not. Personally I think it could be a great asset to have a thread with hundreds of DAT science questions such as these. If everyone posted one or two we would all benefit greatly.
cl24uw06 said:
I second you on this book. I recently bought this book and was surprised to find the amount of information it has in just 200 pages. I would highly advice any body who wants to read this book to use this as a review book. This definitely is NOT a first time read. The amount of information is overwhelming but well written. This book works well with Bio Exam Cracker.
But I do hope the questions on DAT are not as difficult as in this book. Most of the questions I consider in this book are above average to high in difficulty(Not really difficult but more of the detail information required to answer the question which is completely missing in Kaplan). Although I haven't taken DAT yet, but I think if you can answer these questions, then you can consider yourself ready for DAT. Any thoughts cl24uw06 ??

I just bought this book as well and already have Examkrackers. They are the best for reviewing bio.
I agree with you these questions are difficult and questions on Examkrackers are even more difficult... But they will really prepare you on the topic...
This is a great thrad cl24uw06! Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Now if we all work together and post some questions this will be an excellent resource for us all.

cl24uw06 said:
D is the correct answer, or is in A? I remember learning that prokaryotes undergo binary fission, is that right? And does that involve a spindle formation at all?
Would appreciate more clarrification on this one! Thanks!
by the way - great idea cl24uw06

cl24uw06 said:
B is the correct answer
Because free ribosomes are responsible for the manufacture of proteins that will reside in the cytoplasm (such as glycolytic enzymes, microfilaments, etc.) Wheras those exported to the plasma membrane are made on the Rough ER (where these ribosomes are attached at the begining site of the membrane transport system) protiens manufatured here are shuttled into the RE membrane, which are then shuttled to the golgi apparuts, which fuses with the membrane. If the protein is fused in the golgi membrane - it will be a membrane protien (such as an ion channal proton pumps that bacteria use to generate atp), if protiens are manufatured INSIDE the golgi, they will be released as chemical messengers (insulin)
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
I REST MY CASE
CAN I HAVE YOUR NEXT WITNESS PLEASE
i love these kinds of topics!
cl24uw06 said:
Answer: D
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Oxidative phosphorylation, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport occur in the mitochondrion. Transcription occurs in the nucleus
cl24uw06 said:
Answer: D
If the final step of electron transport ceases (the transfer of electrons to moleular oxygen forming H2O), electron transport stops. Glycolysis, conversion of pyruvate to lactate, and some reactions producing ATP are independent of the presence of molecular oxygen.
cl24uw06 said:
Answer: C, B, C
The key to understanding these related questions is knowing the base pairing rules. For DNA, G bonds to C, whereas A bonds to T. For RNA, G bonds to C, and A bonds to U. Also note that mRNA is complementary to DNA, and tRNA is complementary to mRNA. Therefore, for this set of questions:
Original DNA 3'AAGGCTAGC5'
Complementary DNA 5' TTCCGATCG3'
mRNA 3' AAGGCUAGC5'
Original DNA 3'AAGGCTAGC5'
mRNA 5' UUCCGAUCG3'
tRNA AAG GCU AGC

Answer: D
Eukaryots may replicate chromosomal DNA from several origins simultaneously. Choices A-C are true statements
cl24uw06, you have been very generous with your time and effort for the benefit of others, what is your motivation/intention (I know you don't have any bad intentions - of course), but have you taken the DAT, and want to help others?
You've asked for feedback about this forum, and havn't recieved much input, so i want to tell you that it is a brilliant idea, if more people could get involved.
almost 450 people have visited this forum, and if each person contributed just two questions, then that's almost 1000 practice biology questions!
I for one will do my part to help this forum, and hopefully other would too, so that it continues all the way until August, when the last of us will finally be taking our DAT!

Answer: D
Although eukaryotes and bacteria have double-stranded DNA, viruses have other forms of genetic material. Viruses may have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material. Furthermore, viral DNA or RNA may be either single-stranded or double-stranded, and either linear or circular.

I just feel like this is/will be a great tool for studying if everyone gets involved. I really do feel if I put in the effort to help others it will eventually come back around. Plus, if I take the time to type out questions and answers I will never forget them.
cl24uw06 said:
Answer: B
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (containing ribosomes) and the Golgi apparatus are generally required for the production of plasma membrane proteins. Recall that these proteins are often glycoproteins, and are glycosylated in the Golgi apparatus. Transcription of mRNA accurs in the nucleus, and translation of proteins requires tRNA. Free ribosomes are not required to synthesize cell membrane proteins because the ribosomes involved in the translation of these proteins are embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum.
All of the following statements are correct regarding alleles EXCEPT:
A gene can have more than one allele.
Two identical alleles are said to be heterozygous with respect to that gene.
Alleles are found on corresponding loci of homologous chromosomes.
Alleles are alternative forms of the same gene.
One allele can be dominant and the other can be recessive.

Answer: A
There is no spindle formation in prokaryotes (bacteria) because bacteria do not use the process of mitosis to reproduce. Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission
A researcher performs a cross between 2 mice, both having black fur. Black for is dominant over white for. 75% of the offspring have black coats and 25% have white coats. The researcher can assume that the parents genotypes were most likely:
BB x BB
BB x Bb
BB x bb
Bb x Bb
bb x bb
BB x BB
BB x Bb
BB x bb
Bb x Bb
bb x bb

Answer: D
Both yeast and mold are fungi. The three major types of fungi are distinguished by their structure. Molds are multicellular filamentous organisms. Fleshy fungi are multicellular filamentous organisms that produce a thick (fleshy) reproductive body. These fungi include mushrooms. Yeast are nonfilamentous, unicellular organisms.
A major difference between animals and plants is that
a. plants cannot move
b. animals are sexually reproductive
c. animal cells use osmotic pressure for nourishment
d. animals cells cannot use osmotic pressure for nourishment
a. plants cannot move
b. animals are sexually reproductive
