1. | Transcription and translation can be coupled in prokaryotes |
2. | DNA is a better genetic material than RNA |
3. | It is the presence of structural gene in a transcription unit that defines the template and coding strands |
4. | RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5srRNA and snRNAs |
1. | triplet, degenerate, nearly universal and read in a contiguous fashion |
2. | triplet, degenerate, nearly universal and read in an overlapping fashion |
3. | doublet, degenerate, nearly universal and read in a contiguous fashion |
4. | triplet, ambiguous, totally universal and read in a contiguous fashion |
I: | Griffith discovered the process of bacterial transformation. |
II: | Hershey and Chase unequivocally proved that DNA is the genetic material. |
III: | Meselson and Stahl showed that DNA replicated semi-conservatively. |
1. | Only I and II are correct |
2. | Only I and III are correct |
3. | Only II and III are correct |
4. | I, II and III are correct |
1. | an inducible operon with a positive regulation by the repressor protein |
2. | an inducible operon with a negative regulation by the repressor protein |
3. | a repressible operon with a positive regulation by the repressor protein |
4. | a repressible operon with a negative regulation by the repressor protein |
1. | Less than 2 percent of the genome codes for proteins |
2. | Chromosome 1 has most genes [2969] and the Y has the fewest [231] |
3. | The function of almost all the discovered genes is known |
4. | Repeated sequences make up a very large portion of human genome |
(a) | Euchromatin is loosely packed chromatin. |
(b) | Heterochromatin is transcriptionally active. |
(c) | Histone octomer is wrapped by negatively charged DNA in nucleosome. |
(d) | Histones are rich in lysine and arginine. |
(e) | A typical nucleosome contains 400 bp of DNA helix. |
The process of translation of mRNA to proteins begins as soon as:
1. | The tRNA is activated and the larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA |
2. | The smaller subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA |
3. | The larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA |
4. | Both the subunits join together to bind with mRNA |
DNA polymorphism forms the basis of
1. Translation
2. Genetic mapping
3. DNA finger printing
4. Both genetic mapping and DNA fingerprinting
If a geneticist uses the blind approach for sequencing the whole genome of an organism, followed by assignment of function to different segments, the methodology adopted by him is called as:
1. Bioinformatics
2. Sequence annotation
3. Gene mapping
4. Expressed sequence tags
