Go through the following facts:

I. 'AAG' always code for lysine. It cannot code for any other amino acid.

II. Serine amino acid can be coded by UCU / UCC / UCA or UCG.

III. UUU from phenylalanine in bacteria as well as human beings.

IV. UUU GGG CCC AAA Me codes for five amino acids.

Now point out nature of genetic code after reading above:

1. I – Specificity / Non-ambiguity of code; II - Universality of code; III - Degeneracy of code; IV - Triplet and non-overlapping code

2. I – Specificity / Non-ambiguity of code; II - Degeneracy of code; III - Universality of code; IV - Triplet and non-overlapping code

3. I – Specificity / Non-ambiguity of code; II - Degeneracy of code; III - Universality of code; IV - Triplet and overlapping code

4. I – Specificity / Non-ambiguity of code; II - Universality of code; III - Degeneracy of code; IV - Triplet and overlapping code

The full form of ELSI is:

1. Embedded Low Software Index    

2. Ear Lung Spleen Immunity

3. Ethical Legal and Social Issue      

4. Endonuclease Ligase Surface Immunity

The force that holds DNA together in a double helix is:

1. The force of the twist                   

2. Covalent bonds

3. Ionic bonds or ionic interactions   

4. Hydrogen bonds

Experiments by Avery, Macleod, and McCarty supported DNA as the genetic material by showing that:

1. Both protein and DNA samples provided the transforming factor

2. DNA was not complex enough to be the genetic material

3. Only samples with DNA provided transforming activity

4. Even though DNA was molecularly simple, it provided adequate variation to act as the genetic material

What are the mini-satellites?

1. r-DNA             

2. VNTR              

3. c-DNA             

4. SAT

Which statement about complementary base pairing is not true?

1. It plays a role in DNA replication

2. In DNA, T pairs with A

3. Purines pair with purines, and pyrimidines pair with pyrimidines

4. In DNA, C pairs with G

SNP which is pronounced as "snips” stands for:

1. Small nuclear protein                   

2. Single nucleotide particle

3. Single nucleotide polymorphism   

4. Small nicking points

The length of E. coli DNA and length of DNA in a human 2N cell is:

1. 1.36 mm and 2.2 m respectively  

2. 1.36 mm and 2.2 mm respectively

3. 1.3 ìm and 2.2 ìm respectively    

4. 1.36 cm and 2.2 cm respectively

Choose the correct statements:

I. Binding of mRNA to the ribosome is loose and reversible.

II. The ribosome, which is composed of tRNA and proteins, consists of a small and large subunit.

III. Each of the 20 amino acids has a minimum of one specific tRNA molecule.

IV. tRNAMET binds to the first codon (AUG) - this is called the START codon.

V. The second tRNA binds to the second codon so that their attached monosaccharides are next to each other

VI. The newly formed polypeptide may undergo post-transcriptional modification.

1. I, III and IV         

2. II, IV, VI               

3. II, V and VI           

4. I, V, VI
