The initiation and termination factors required for prokaryotic transcription are respectively denoted as:
1. | α and β | 2. | δ and θ |
3. | σ and ρ | 4. | Ψ and ɸ |
The mRNA codon UGG is the codon for amino acid:
1. | Tryptophan | 2. | Phenylalanine |
3. | Valine | 4. | Glutamic acid |
In translation, the enzyme amino acyl-tRNA synthetase:
1. | synthesizes tRNA |
2. | attaches amino acids to tRNA |
3. | hydrolyzes excess tRNA molecules |
4. | helps tRNA synthesize amino acids |
The process of transcription and translation can be coupled in:
1. | E.coli | 2. | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
3. | Arabidopsis thaliana | 4. | Coenorhabditis elegans |
E.coli has only 4.6 × base pairs and completes the process of replication within 18 minutes, then the average rate of polymerization is approximately:
1. | 2000 base pairs/second | 2. | 3000 base pairs/second |
3. | 4000 base pairs/second | 4. | 1000 base pairs/second |
After the transfer of E.coli from 15N to 14N medium, the DNA extracted from the medium after 40 minutes will compose of:
1. | Only hybrid DNA |
2. | Only light DNA |
3. | Equal amounts of light and heavy DNA |
4. | Equal amounts of light and hybrid DNA |
A cup has bacterial cells. Each bacterial cell divides in 35 minutes. What shall be the number of bacteria after 175 min?
1. | \(2 \times 10 ^ 5\) | 2. | \(5 \times 10 ^ 5\) |
3. | \(32 \times 10 ^ 5\) | 4. | \(16 \times 10 ^ 5\) |
During translation initiation in prokaryotes, a GTP molecule is needed in:
1. | Formation of formyl-met-tRNA |
2. | Binding of 30S subunit of the ribosome with mRNA |
3. | Association of 30 S-mRNA with formyl met-tRNA |
4. | Association of 50 S subunit of the ribosome with the initiation complex |
