Satellite DNA is important because it:
1. | Codes for proteins are needed in the cell cycle. |
2. | Shows a high degree of polymorphism in the population and also the same degree of polymorphism in an individual which is inheritable from parents to children. |
3. | Does not code for proteins and is the same in all members of the population. |
4. | Codes for enzymes needed for DNA replication. |
In sea urchin DNA, which is double-stranded 17% of the bases were shown to be cytosine. The percentages of the other three bases expected to be present in this DNA are:
Which one of the following is wrongly matched?
1. | Transcription- Writing information from DNA to t-RNA |
2. | Translation- Using the information in m-RNA to make protein |
3. | Repressor protein- Binds to an operator to stop enzyme synthesis |
4. | Operon- Structural genes, operator, and promoter |
