Transfer of electrophoresis-separated DNA fragments to a filter membrane and subsequent fragment detection by probe hybridization is called as:
1. | DNA profiling | 2. | PCR |
3. | Southern blotting | 4. | Elution |
In the human genome, the chromosomes with the most and the fewest genes located on them respectively are:
1. | 1 and Y | 2. | X and Y |
3. | 21 and X | 4. | 11 and Y |
Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty used DNase in their experiment because:
1. | It enabled them to isolate pure DNA samples. |
2. | It enabled them to isolate pure protein samples. |
3. | This allowed them to demonstrate that removing the DNA prevents transformation. |
4. | It made sure that RNA will always be present when they attempted to transform the R strain. |
Which of the following is likely if there is a mutation in the lacY gene of the lac operon in E.coli?
1. | The lac genes would be expressed efficiently only in the absence of lactose. |
2. | The lac genes would be expressed efficiently until the lactose supply in the cell is exhausted. |
3. | The lac genes would be expressed continuously. |
4. | Expression of the lac genes would cease immediately. |
Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | The DNA of the bacteriophage ϕ X 174 has 5386 nucleotides. |

3. | The DNA of Escherichia coli has 4.6 X 103 base pairs. |
4. | Haploid content of human DNA is 3.3 X 109 base pairs. |
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase III transcribes:
1. | hnRNA, snRNAs and 5.8S RNA |
2. | tRNA, 5.8S RNA and snRNAs |
3. | tRNA, 5SrRNA and snRNAs |
4. | rRNAs – 28S, 18S and 5S |
