If there are 999 bases in RNA that code for a protein with 333 amino acids, and the base at position 901 is deleted such that the length of the RNA becomes 998 bases, how many codons will be altered?
| 1. | 1 | 2. | 11 |

Identifying all the genes in the genome that are transcribed into RNA is called:
| 1. | Expressed Sequence Tag | 2. | Sequence Annotation |
| 3. | Inverse PCR | 4. | Retrotransposition |
1. Telomeric sequence
2. Multiple cloning site
3. Ori
4. Selectable marker
Griffith co-injected the heat-killed S and live R strains of Pneumococcus bacterium into the mice and much to his surprise the mice developed pneumonia and died. He concluded that:
| I: | Live R was transformed into Live S strain as he was able to isolate Live S strain from the blood of the infected mice. |
| II: | Bacterial transformation is a stable and heritable change as the culture of bacteria isolated from dead mice was unable to infect other mice. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct |
| 2. | Only I is correct |
| 3. | Only II is correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
The radius of the double helix of B-DNA [Watson and Crick model] is approximately:
