| Statement I: | rRNA has a structural role in living organisms. |
| Statement II: | rRNA acts as the adapter molecule during the flow of genetic information in a cell. |
Which of the following is true for both transcription and DNA replication?
| 1. | The principle of complementarity governs the processes |
| 2. | Only if the two strands act as a template |
| 3. | Only a segment of both strands is involved |
| 4. | Adenine base pairs with thymine |
| I: | nucleoside triphosphates are used as substrate. |
| II: | mRNA is formed in a template independent fashion. |
| III: | the rule of complementarity is applicable. |
| IV: | helix is opened by helicase. |
What facilitates the opening of the helix in order to allow continued elongation of transcription?
1. RNA polymerase
2. DNA polymerase
3. DNA helicase
4. DNA ligase
| I: | is said to be located towards 3'-end (upstream) of the structural gene (the reference is made with respect to the polarity of template strand). |
| II: | is a DNA sequence that provides binding site for RNA polymerase. |
| III: | defines the template and coding strands. |
| 1. | Rho | 2. | Sigma |
| 3. | Omega | 4. | Epsilon |
| Assertion (A): | Only one of the two DNA strands serves as a template for transcription. |
| Reason (R): | The other strand is called the coding strand. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False, (R) is False |
| 1. | Cistron | 2. | Intron |
| 3. | Exon | 4. | Recon |
