Which of the following was presented as evidence in favor of “the RNA world” hypothesis?
1. The fact that DNA can encode genetic information
2. The fact that enzymes, made of protein, can catalyze biological reactions
3. The discovery that some enzymes are composed of RNA rather than protein
4. The discovery of new life forms that encode their genetic information in RNA rather than DNA

3. | ACCUAUGCGAU | 4. | UCCAUAGCGUA |
Consider the following statements:
I. | Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates act as substrates as well as provide energy for polymerization reaction during DNA replication. |
II. | The replication of DNA is both semiconservative and semi-discontinuous |
III. | In bacterial DNA replication, there are multiple ori and replication fork moving bi-directionally |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Satellite DNA is important because it:
1. | Codes for proteins are needed in the cell cycle. |
2. | Shows a high degree of polymorphism in the population and also the same degree of polymorphism in an individual which is inheritable from parents to children. |
3. | Does not code for proteins and is the same in all members of the population. |
4. | Codes for enzymes needed for DNA replication. |
Which one of the following is wrongly matched?
1. | Transcription- Writing information from DNA to t-RNA |
2. | Translation- Using the information in m-RNA to make protein |
3. | Repressor protein- Binds to an operator to stop enzyme synthesis |
4. | Operon- Structural genes, operator, and promoter |
Transformation was discovered by:
1. Meseson and Stahl
2. Hershey and Chase
3. Griffith
4. Waston and crick
