Questions + Answers key
Take MCQ Biology Test1.
Chemically DNA is more stable than RNA- Justify.
2.
Distinguish monocistronic and polycistronic gene.
3.
What is reverse transcription?
4.
A low level of expression of lac operon occurs at all the windows for treatment of various genetic disorders. Justify the statement
5.
Distinguish between structural gene, regulatory gene and operator gene
6.
What are the three structural differences between RNA and DNA?
7.
Why the human genome project is called a mega project?
8.
Name the anticodon required to recognize the following codons: AAU, CGA, UAU, and GCA.
9.
Why tRNA is called an adapter molecule?
10.
From their examination of the structure of DNA, What did Watson and Crick infer about the probable mechanism of DNA replication, coding capability and mutation?
1.
In DNA, the two strands being complementary, if separated (denatured) by heating can come together (renaturation) when appropriate condition is provided. Further, 2' OH group present at every nucleotide in RNA is a reactive group that makes RNA liable and easily degradable. RNA is also known to be catalytic and reactive. Hence, DNA is chemically more stable and chemically less reactive when compared to RNA. Presence of thymine instead of uracil in DNA confers additional stability to DNA.
2.
| Monodstronic | Polycistronic |
| 1) It is found in eukaryotes. | 1) It is found in prokaryotes. |
| 2) Each mRNA carries only a single gene and encodes information for only a single protein. | 2) Clusters of related genes known as Operon found next to each other on a chromosome are transcribed together to give a single mRNA |
3.
In some retroviruses that contain RNA as the genetic material (e.g. HIV), the flow of information is reversed. RNA synthesizes DNA by reverse transcription, then transcribed into mRNA by transcription and then into proteins by translation. This is called reverse transcription.
4.
In the complete absence of lac operon permease will not be synthesized which is essential for transport of lactose from the medium into the cells, then it cannot act as an inducer. Hence, cannot relieve the lac operon from its repressed state.
5.
| Structural gene | Regulatory gene | operator gene |
| They are concerned with the transcription of mRNA for the synthesis of particular polypeptide |
It controls the functioning of operator gene |
It determines the functioning of operator gene |
| They function only when RNA polymerases join |
It produces a repressor or apo- repressor for blocking operator gene |
It works only when it is not blocked by repressor |
| They function by forming mRNA for specific polypeptide |
It functions through the formation of mRNA of repressor or apo-repressor |
It functions through the presence (or) absence of repressor |
6.
Structural difference between DNA and RNA.
| DNA | RNA |
| It is double stranded with exception of some viruses | It is generally single stranded |
| It is the genetic material in all living organism | It is genetic material in some viruses only |
| The sugar is deoxy ribose (pentose) | The sugar is ribose (pentose) |
| Nitrogenous bases present are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine | Nitrogenous bases present are adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil |
| It is less reactive, chemically and structurally more stable. | It is more reactive chemically and structurally less stable |
| It usually occurs inside the nucleus and in some cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. |
Very little RNA occurs inside the nucleus. most of its found in the cytoplasm |
7.
Human genome project was considered to be a mega project because
1. It had a specific goal to sequence for everybase pair present in the human genome. (Human Genome has 3.1647 billion nucleotide base pairs).
2. It took around 13 years of completion and got accomplished in year 2006.
3. It was a large-scale project, which aimed at developing new technology and generating new information in the field of genomic studies.
4. As a result of it, several news areas and avenues have opened up in the field of genetics, biotechnology and medical sciences.
5. It provided clues regarding the understanding of human biology.
8.
(i) AAU - UUA
(ii) CGA - GCU
(iii) UAU - AUA
(iv) GCA - CGU
9.
tRNA on one hand binds to specific amino acids and on the other hand reads the codon of the amino acid bound to it through its anticodon, it is called as adapter molecule.
10.
They inferred each strand of the double strands helps was used as a template for the formation of a new, daughter strand having a complementary sequence of bases.
