Which of the following enzyme is not produced by E. coli during lactose catabolism ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

E. coli produces β-galactosidase, thiogalactoside transacetylase, and lactose permease during lactose catabolism. Lactose dehydrogenase is not involved in this process. Thus, option o3 is the correct answer.

Which is the incorrect statement regarding HGP ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The Human Genome Project (HGP) is not an Indian scientific research project. It was an international research project with the aim of mapping all the genes of the human genome. Thus, option o1 is the correct answer as it is the incorrect statement.

Humans have approximately times more genes than E.coli

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Humans have approximately 50 times more genes than E. coli. E. coli has about 4,000 genes, while humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes. Thus, option o4 is the correct answer.

Select the correct answer / answers from the following

  1. Ligase :- Joins short segments of DNA together
  2. DNA Polymerase :- cuts DNA at specific sequence
  3. Helicase :- Breaks the hydrogen bonds between complementary pairs during DNA replication
  4. Gyrase : - Joins weak hydrogen bonds between complementary pairs

Explanation
  1. Ligase: Joins short segments of DNA together, which is correct.
  2. Helicase: Breaks the hydrogen bonds between complementary pairs during DNA replication, which is also correct.
  3. DNA Polymerase: It synthesizes DNA molecules from nucleotides, not cuts DNA at specific sequences.
  4. Gyrase: It relieves the strain while double-strand DNA is being unwound by helicase, not joins weak hydrogen bonds.

DNA replication in eukaryotes is

Explanation

In eukaryotes, DNA replication is bidirectional and has multiple origins of replication. This allows the large quantity of DNA to be replicated quickly and accurately.

How many nucleotides make one okazaki fragments in eukaryotes ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Eukaryotes typically have Okazaki fragments that are 100 to 200 nucleotides long, whereas fragments in prokaryotic E. coli can be 2,000 nucleotides long. The reason for this discrepancy is unknown. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of many replicating units of DNA with multiple origins of replication.

Which of the following enzymes help in the process of formation of phosphodiester bond during reverse transcription ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, also known as reverse transcriptase, is the enzyme that synthesizes DNA from an RNA template. This process involves the formation of phosphodiester bonds.

The two strands of a DNAmolecule are separted and one of them is analysed for its A+ T / G + C ratio, This is found to be 0.2 What is the A+ T / G + C ratio of the other strand

DNA replication in lagging strand of most of the eukaryotic organis ms is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

DNA replication in the lagging strand of eukaryotic organisms is semiconservative but discontinuous. This means that each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand (semiconservative), and replication on the lagging strand occurs in short segments called Okazaki fragments, which are later joined together (discontinuous).

How many bases consist in an average gene ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

An average gene consists of about 3000 bases. This is a general estimate and can vary widely among different genes and organisms.
