______ is the branch of genetics, which deals with heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence.
Which of the following is a computational tool used to calculate theoretical polymerase chain reaction methods that can be used to directly quantify and clonally amplify nucleic acids including DNA, cDNA or RNA?
Which among the following is a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organised as a tandem repeat?
Random amplified polymorphic DNA is a technique for
Which of the following is associated with robust populations that can survive bouts of intense selection?
Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?
Which of the following bacteriophages was the first DNA-based genome to be sequenced?
Which of the following statements is/are true regarding genome?
- The term ‘genome’ was given by Hans Winkler.
- Genome size is the total number of DNA base pairs in one copy of a diploid genome.
- Bacteriophage MS2 was the first sequenced DNA-genome.
Which of the following is a technique of using very small metal particles coated with desired gene in the gene transfer?
Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?
Which of the following statements are incorrect?
P. Histones are rich in the acidic amino acid residues. Q. A typical nucleosome contains 200 bp of DNA helix. R. The chromatin that is more densely packed and stains dark is called as euchromatin. S. Euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.
Match the following:
RNA polymerase type | Responsible for transcription |
A. RNA polymerase I | 1. hnRNA |
B. RNA polymerase II | 2. rRNA |
C. RNA polymerase III | 3. snRNA |
Match the column – I with column – II and select the correct option.
Column – I | Column – II |
A. Explant | 1. Molecular stitchers |
B. Probe | 2. Fragment of DNA or RNA |
C. Restriction endonucleases | 3. Plant part for tissue culture |
D. Ligases | 4. Molecular scissors |
Assertion (A): The normal role of restriction endonucleases in bacterial cells is to degrade the bacterial chromosome into small pieces during replication. Reason (R): Bacterial cells protect their own DNA from degradation by restriction endonucleases by deleting all recognition sites from the genome.
Directions: In the following question, there are two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Consider both the statements independently and mark your answer as under:
1. A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct and R is incorrect.
4. A is incorrect and R is correct.
5. A and R both are incorrect.
Assertion: In capping, methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 3'-end of hnRNA. Reason: In tailing, adenylate residues are added at 5'-end in a template independent manner.
Directions: In the following question, there are two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Consider both the statements independently and mark your answer as under:
1. A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct and R is incorrect.
4. A is incorrect and R is correct.
5. A and R both are incorrect.
