A strand of DNA has the sequence 5′−ATTCCG−3′. The complementary strand for this is

  1. 5′−TAAGGC−3′

  2. 5′−ATTCCG−3′

  3. 5′−ACCTTA−3′

  4. 5′−CGGAAT−3'


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 5′−TAAGGC−3′ represents 5' to 3' pattern. Complementary strand of 5' to 3' strand is always in 3' to 5' direction.

  1. UAA

  2. UGA

  3. UAG

  4. AUG


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

AUG is an initiation codon for coding methionine.

The primase is used in DNA replication for

  1. joining okazaki fragments

  2. the formation of new DNA

  3. the synthesis of DNA primer

  4. the synthesis of RNA primer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The primase is used for DNA replication as it helps in the synthesis of RNA primer.

If the external solution balances the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm of a plant cell then the solution is said to be

  1. hypotonic

  2. hypertonic

  3. isotonic

  4. isotactic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the external solution balances the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm of a plant cell, the solution is said to be isotonic.  

Facilitated diffusion through cell membrane

  1. takes place through membrane proteins

  2. sets up a concentration gradient

  3. is dependent upon ATP

  4. takes place without any membrane proteins


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion of transport through cell membrane takes place through membrane proteins.

Water potential is determined by

  1. soluble potential and osmotic potential

  2. pressure potential

  3. solute potential and pressure potential

  4. solute potential


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water potential is determined by soluble potential and osmotic potential.

DNA fingerprinting was discovered by

  1. Jacob and Monad

  2. Watson and Crick

  3. Hershey and Chase

  4. Alec Jeffrey


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting was discovered by Alec Jeffrey.

The role of enzyme DNA ligase in DNA replication is

  1. to add more nucleotides to the growing strand one at a time

  2. to open up the two DNA strands to expose template strands

  3. to remove incorrectly matched bases

  4. to join okazaki fragments to one another


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The role of enzyme DNA ligase in DNA replication is to bond okazaki fragments to one another.

Which of the following statements is correct about osmosis?

  1. It requires ATP.

  2. It is independent of solute concentration.

  3. It continues until the pressure potential equals the water potential.

  4. It results in the bursting of plant cells placed in pure water.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plant cells do not burst when placed in pure water.

In maltose, two glucose units are linked by a

  1. peptide bond

  2. hydrogen bond

  3. glycosidic bond

  4. phosphodiester bond


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In maltose, two glucose units are linked by a glycosidic bond.

  1. GLUT 40

  2. GLUT 4

  3. Insulin

  4. Glucagon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

GLUT 4 assists in transport of glucose across membrane.

Co- enzymes differ from enzymes as

  1. co-enzymes are polymers of amino acids

  2. co-enzymes are small like vitamins

  3. co-enzymes are specific for one reaction

  4. co-enzymes always carries high-energy phosphate


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Co-enzymes differ from enzymes as co-enzymes are small like vitamins.

Which nucleoside is formed when guanine binds with ribose?

  1. Guanylic acid

  2. Guanosine

  3. Guanosine monophosphate

  4. Guanosine triphosphate


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Guanosine nucleoside is formed when guanine base binds with ribose.

Which of the following is the nitrogen base present only in RNA?

  1. Adenine

  1. Lipid

  2. Protein

  3. Nucleic acid

  4. Carbohydrate


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The most abundant molecules in the cell are proteins as they form the structure and also preform various physiological activities.

The only means of gaseous movement within a plant body is by the means of

  1. imbibition

  2. cyclosis

  3. putrefaction

  4. diffusion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The only means of gaseous movement within a plant body is by diffusion.

In semiconservative replication of DNA,

  1. the original double helix remains intact and a new double helix forms

  2. the strands of the double helix seperate and act as templates for new strands

  3. polymerisation is catalysed by RNA polymerase

  4. polymerisation is catalysed by DNA ligase enzyme


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In semiconservative replication of DNA, the strands of the double helix seperate and act as templates for new strands.
