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
Western Blot hybridization is used for:
(1) DNA analysis
(2) RNA analysis
(3) Protein analysis
(4) Polysaccharide analysis
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
Escherichia coli cells were grown for many generations in 15NH4Cl as sole nitrogen source. Subsequently, these cells were grown exactly for four generations in medium containing 14NH4Cl. The DNA from these cells were isolated and separated. If 15N/15N represents the two strands of DNA where both strands have heavy nitrogen; 15N/14N as intermediate DNA; and 14N/14N as DNA containing light nitrogen, the ratios for heavy: intermediate: light DNA, respectively would be:
(1) 1 : 0 : 7
(2) 1 : 1 : 6
(3) 0 : 1 : 7
(4) 0 : 8 : 0
