DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyses transcription on one strand of the DNA which is called the?
1. | template strand | 2. | coding strand |
3. | alpha strand | 4. | anti strand |
DNA replication in bacteria occurs:
1. Within nucleolus
2. Prior to fission
3. Just before transcription
4. During S phase
The association of histone H1 with a nucleosome indicates:
1. DNA replication is occurring
2. The DNA is condensed into a chromatin fibre
3. The DNA double helix is exposed
4. Transcription is occurring
1. | UGA | 2. | UAA |
3. | UAG | 4. | AUG |
Which one of the following is not applicable to RNA?
1. Complementary base pairing
2. 5' phosphoryl and 3' hydroxyl ends
3. Heterocyclic nitrogenous bases
4. Chargaff's rule
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. |
