Two women were arguing over a baby, each claiming that the child was theirs. They went before a wise king to settle the dispute. The king decided to divide the baby straight down the midline of the body, forming a right and left half. This cut is best described as:
midsagittal
frontal
parasagittal
transverse
The Correct Answer is A
A. Midsagittal: A midsagittal plane divides the body equally into right and left halves down the midline.
B. Frontal: A frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
C. Parasagittal: A parasagittal plane divides the body into unequal right and left portions-not straight down the midline.
D. Transverse: A transverse plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions-not left and right.

DNA: T A G C C G A
RNA: A U C G G C U
C. CGTATTA: Random mismatch, not related to either DNA or RNA pairing for this sequence.
D. GCTATTA: Also incorrect DNA base pairing and not applicable to RNA transcription.
Correct Answer is C

A. codon; a single amino acid in the protein to be made: A codon is a sequence of three RNA nucleotides, not DNA. Codons are found in mRNA during translation.
B. triplet; the entire protein to be made: A triplet codes for one amino acid, not the entire protein.
C. triplet; a single amino acid in the protein to be made: In DNA, a triplet is a group of three nucleotide bases that codes for a single amino acid during protein synthesis.
D. codon; gene: A codon (in mRNA) corresponds to one amino acid, not an entire gene.
