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
1. RNA polymerase will bind the promoter region
2. Only z gene will get transcribed
3. z, y, a genes will be transcribed
4. z, y, a genes will not be translated

Which one of the following is not a criterion of genetic material?
| 1. | Should not provide the scope for changes for evolution |
| 2. | Should be able to express itself in the form of Mendelian character |
| 3. | Should be able to generate its replica |
| 4. | Should be stable chemically and structurally |
DNA replication is semi-conservative in nature. This was experimentally proved in eukaryotes by:
1. Hershey and Chase
2. Macleod and McCarty
3. Meselson and Stahl
4. Talyor and his colleagues
Which one of the following experiments of Frederick Griffith resulted in the discovery of bacterial transformation?
| 1. | S-stain(heat-killed) → injected in to Mice → Mice lived |
| 2. | S-strain (heat killed) + R-strain(live) → injected in to Mice → Mice died |
| 3. | S-stain → injected in to Mice → Mice died |
| 4. | R-strain → injected in to Mice → Mice lived |
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
| Assertion (A): | Semiconservative replication was experimentally proved by Mathew Meselson and Franklin Stahl (1958) |
| Reason (R): | Meselson and Stahl used radioactive isotope \(^{15}N\) and equilibrium density gradient centrifugation technique. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
