Question 54
Why is the initial primary transcript RNA much larger than the mature mRNA molecule that will be sent to the cytoplasm for translation?
a)Â the 5' UTR must be removed before translation can begin
b)Â The primary transcript contains introns that are removed by splicing
 c) the capping procedure results in the removal of hundreds of nucleotides from the 5' end
 d) the poly A tails of the primary transcripts must be removed before translocation to the cytoplasm

Question 56
White eye color in Drosophila was discovered to be sex linked by Thomas Hunt Morgan, who observed that________
a)Â the inheritance pattern of eye color in the progeny depended on the sex of the mutant parent.
 b) reciprocal crosses produced the same results, like with most traits.
 c) the white-eyed flies were color blind, in contrast to the red-eyed flies.
 d) the red-eye phenotype developed only in flies that had mated.
