Q. No.The "universal" genetic code is now known to have exceptions. Evidence for this can be found if which of the following is true?
1.
If UGA, usually a stop codon, is found to code for an amino acid such as tryptophan (usually coded for by UGG only).
2.
If one stop codon, such as UGA, is found to have a different effect on translation than another stop codon, such as UAA.
3.
If prokaryotic organisms are able to translate a eukaryotic mRNA and produce the same polypeptide.
4.
If several codons are found to translate to the same amino acid, such as serine.

What characteristic of short tandem repeat DNA makes it useful for DNA fingerprinting?
| 1. | The number of repeats varies widely from person to person or animal to animal. |
| 2. | The sequence of DNA that is repeated varies, significantly, from individual to individual. |
| 3. | The sequence variation is acted upon differently by natural selection in different environments. |
| 4. | Every racial and ethnic group has inherited different short tandem repeats. |

A mutation that inactivates the regulatory gene of a repressible operon in an E. coli cell would result in
1. continuous transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator
2. complete inhibition of transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator
3. irreversible binding of the repressor to the operator
4. inactivation of RNA polymerase by alteration of its active site
