Whose cell free system finally helped the genetic code to be deciphered?
1. | Gamow | 2. | Severo Ochoa |
3. | Hargobind Khorana | 4. | Marshall Nirenberg |
Which of the following would be nucleoside found only in RNA?
1. | Thymidine | 2. | Cytidine |
3. | Uridine | 4. | Adenosine |
Which of the following is not a stop codon?

A segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide is most accurately defined as:
1. | Operon | 2. | Gene |
3. | Recon | 4. | Cistron |
The central dogma of molecular biology was proposed by:
1. | Francis Crick | 2. | James Watson |
3. | Rosalind Franklin | 4. | Erwin Chargaff |
The unequivocal proof that DNA is the genetic material was provided by:
1. | Avery, Macleod, and McCarty |
2. | Hershey and Chase |
3. | Meselson and Stahl |
4. | Watson and Crick |
Hershey and Chase proved DNA as the genetic material in their experiment because :
1. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive. |
2. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive. |
3. | Both 1 and 2 are correct. |
4. | Both 1 and 2 are incorrect. |
DNA replication is correctly described as:
1. | Semi-conservative and Continuous |
2. | Semi-conservative and Discontinuous |
3. | Conservative and Continuous |
4. | Semi-conservative and Semi-discontinuous |
According to Erwin Chargaff, in a double-stranded DNA
1. | The ratios between Adenine and Thymine, and, Guanine and Cytosine are constant and equal. |
2. | The ratios between Adenine and Thymine, and, Guanine and Cytosine are constant but are not equal to one. |
3. | The ratios between Adenine and Guanine, and, Thymine and Cytosine are constant and equal. |
4. | The ratios between Adenine and Guanine, and, Thymine and Cytosine are constant but are not equal to one. |
