The DNA strands are antiparallel because of A. orientation of nitrogenous bases B. phosphodiester bonds C. orientation of sugar and phosphate molecules D. structure of the deoxyribose sugar E. hydrogen bonds
With reference to the properties of sugars in DNA, answer the following question.
What would be the expected change in the DNA structure if the 1' position of the deoxyribose sugar is silenced?
For dsDNA, which of the following will always be equal to 1? i. (A+T)/(G+C) ii. C/T iii. A/G iv. (A+G)/(C+T)
DNA having labelled thymidine is allowed to replicate in medium having non-radioactive thymidine. After 3 replications, the number of DNA molecules having labelled thymidine shall be
A student isolates the dsDNA from a novel virus that it is subjected to genomic analysis. It reveals that the molecule contains 14% thymine. What would you predict for the %C (cytosine)?
Which amongst the given can be proficiently defined as a gene that results from integration into genome of a reverse-transcribed copy of an mRNA?
In which of the following cases would you assert that the virus used the host DNA to replicate?
With reference to the properties of sugars in DNA, fill in the blanks.
The ribose sugar and deoxyribose sugar are ____ carbon sugars and they both differ in an oxygen (O) at ___ position.
The individual zone of a chromosome that replicates as a discrete section is called
Assertion: Artificially synthesised genes in which non-coding regions have been excluded fails to express proteins in-vivo. Reason: Their m-RNA molecules fail to move through the pores in the nuclear envelope.
The nucleus from a cell of a developed organism was transplanted to an egg cell that grew into a normal adult. On which organism was the very first nuclear transplant performed?
The helical double stranded structure of DNA would have been named after Rosalind Franklin but her results were hindered by the lack of
Assertion: Majority of the genome is non-coding but it also has very important role to play almost equal to the coding DNA. Reason: DNA fingerprinting matches the variable number of tandem repeats in order to conclude the results.
During DNA replication, the sequence 5'-TpApGpAp-3' would produce
