RNA is not the genetic material in:
| 1. | Tobacco mosaic virus | 2. | QB bacteriophage |
| 3. | HIV | 4. | Archaebacteria |
The structure of the ribosome is made of:
| 1. | rRNA and Proteins |
| 2. | rRNA and Polysaccharides |
| 3. | mRNA, rRNA and tRNA |
| 4. | RNA, DNA and Proteins |
A molecule that can act as a genetic material must fulfil all the following criteria except:
| 1. | It should be able to generate its replica |
| 2. | It should chemically and structurally be stable |
| 3. | It should provide scope for rapid mutations |
| 4. | It should be able to express itself in the form of “Mendelian Characters” |
Insertion or deletion of how many bases will not cause a frameshift mutation?
| 1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
| 3. | 3 | 4. | Any number |
What defines a coding and a template strand in the transcription unit?
| 1. | Structural gene | 2. | Ori |
| 3. | Terminator | 4. | Promoter |
The DNA dependent polymerases catalyze:
| 1. | Only in 3’ – 5’ direction |
| 2. | Only in 5’ – 3’ direction |
| 3. | In both directions |
| 4. | In neither directions |
DNA is structurally and chemically more stable than RNA because of the following except:
| 1. | It has thymine instead of uracil |
| 2. | 2’ –OH is absent in DNA |
| 3. | It replicates itself based on complementary base pairing |
| 4. | It does not have any catalytic role |
Who proposed a semi-conservative mode of replication for DNA?
| 1. | Watson and Crick | 2. | Meselson and Stahl |
| 3. | Hershey and Chase | 4. | Beadle and Tatum |
A transcription unit does not contain:
| 1. | Promoter | 2. | Operator |
| 3. | Structural gene | 4. | Terminator |
DNA was first identified by:
| 1. | Friedrich Meischer | 2. | Phoebus Levene |
| 3. | Linus Pauling | 4. | Erwin Chargaff |
