Q. No.Semiconservative replication of DNA was first demonstrated in:
1. Drosophila melanogaster
2. Escherichia coli
3. Streptococcus pneumoniae
4. Salmonella typhimurium
What is not true for genetic code?
1. A codon in mRNA is read in non-contiguous fashion
2. It is nearly universal
3. It is degenerate
4. It is unambiguous
| 1. | The total amount of purine nucleotides and pyrimidine nucleotides is not always equal |
| 2. | There are two strands, which run parallel in the 5' → 3’ direction |
| 3. | The proportion of adenine in relation to thymine varies with the organism |
| 4. | There are two strands, which run antiparallel - one in 5' → 3’ direction and the other in 3’→ 5’ |
1. GUU, GCU - Alanine
2. UAG, UGA - Stop
3. AUG, ACG - Start/methionine
4. UUA, UCA -Leucine

2. Uracil, Cytosine - Pyrimidines
3. Guanine, Adenine - Purines
4. Adenine, Thymine - Purines
The length of the DNA molecule greatly exceeds the dimensions of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. How is this DNA accommodated?
1. Deletion of non-essential genes
2. Super-coiling in nucleosomes
3. DNAse digestion
4. Through the elimination of repetitive DNA
Differentiation of organs and tissues in a developing organism is associated with:
1. developmental mutations
2. differential expression of genes
3. lethal mutations
4. deletion of a gene
The two polynucleotide chains in DNA are:
1. parallel
2. discontinuous
3. antiparallel
4. semiconservative
Amino acid sequence, in protein synthesis is decided by the sequence of:
1. t-RNA
2. m-RNA
3. c-DNA
4. r-RNA
