Exam traps and common mistakes in this unit
Lesson: DNA RNA Structure
Category: Similar Terms
Student writes A=U for DNA or A=T for RNA. DNA: A=T, G≡C. RNA: A=U (no T), G≡C.
When it triggers
Question on base pairing or sugar identity.
How to avoid
DNA: deoxyribose, A-T-G-C bases. RNA: ribose, A-U-G-C bases (uracil instead of thymine). H-bond pairs: A=T (DNA) or A=U (RNA), G≡C (3 H-bonds, both).
Lesson: Protein Denaturation
Category: Similar Terms
Student claims denaturation breaks peptide bonds. Denaturation only breaks H-bonds, ionic, hydrophobic interactions; primary structure (peptide bonds) intact.
When it triggers
Question about protein denaturation effects.
How to avoid
Denaturation: heat/pH/organic solvents disrupt secondary, tertiary, quaternary structure. Primary structure (covalent peptide bonds) requires hydrolysis to break.
Lesson: DNA RNA Structure
Root cause: concept gap
Correction
DNA: deoxyribose, A=T, G≡C. RNA: ribose, A=U (no T), G≡C.
Lesson: Protein Denaturation
Root cause: concept gap
Correction
Denaturation breaks H-bonds, ionic, hydrophobic; preserves peptide bonds. Hydrolysis (acid/base/enzyme) breaks primary structure.
