In Meselson and Stahl experiment, DNA extracted from the culture, one generation after the transfer from 15N to 14N medium, had a hybrid or intermediate density. With each subsequent round of replication, the percentage of hybrid or intermediate-density DNA molecules extracted from the culture:
1. will remain same
2. will get reduced by half
3. will get increased by half
4. will get doubled

As opposed to DNA replication, transcription:
I. results in an RNA complement that includes the nucleotide uracil (U) in all instances where thymine (T) would have occurred in a DNA complement.
II. creates complementary RNA in 3’ – 5’ direction

The RNA world is a hypothetical stage in the evolutionary history of life on Earth, in which self-replicating RNA molecules proliferated before the evolution of DNA and proteins. The properties of RNA make the idea of the RNA world hypothesis conceptually plausible and include:
I. RNA is known to form efficient catalysts
II. Its similarity to DNA makes clear its ability to store information

1.Only I2.Only II
3.Both I and II4.Neither I nor II

Consider the given statements regarding replication of DNA:
I. DNA is read by DNA polymerase in the 5′ to 3′ direction, meaning the new strand is synthesized in the 3' to 5' direction.
II. The leading strand is the strand of new DNA that is synthesized in the same direction as the growing replication fork.
III. The lagging strand is the strand of new DNA whose direction of synthesis is opposite to the direction of the growing replication fork.

2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
