List-I (Factor)List-II (Role)
A. Sigma FactorI. Elongation
B. Rho FactorII. Initiation
C. Core EnzymeIII. Termination
Sigma factor initiates transcription. Rho factor terminates it. The Core enzyme carries out elongation.
Question 622 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding DNA vs RNA.
List-I (Feature)List-II (Molecule)
A. 2-prime OH groupI. DNA
B. ThymineII. RNA
C. Double Stranded (usually)III. DNA
D. Catalytic activity (Ribozyme)IV. RNA
RNA has a 2-prime OH group making it reactive. DNA contains Thymine. DNA is typically double-stranded. RNA can act as a catalyst (Ribozyme).
Question 623 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding HGP Goals.
List-I (Goal)List-II (Action)
A. SequencingI. Address ELLS issues
B. StorageII. Determine order of 3 billion bases
C. ELSIIII. Store information in databases
Sequencing determines the base order. Storage involves databases (Bioinformatics). ELSI addresses Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues.

List-I (Amino Acid)List-II (Property)
A. LysineI. Basic, Positive charge
B. ArginineII. Basic, Positive charge
C. Glutamic AcidIII. Acidic, Negative charge
Lysine and Arginine are basic and positive, abundant in histones. Glutamic acid is acidic and negative.
Question 625 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding tRNA structure.
List-I (Feature)List-II (Shape/Part)
A. 2D StructureI. Inverted L
B. 3D StructureII. Clover-leaf
C. Acceptor ArmIII. Binds Amino Acid
D. Anticodon LoopIV. Reads mRNA codon
The 2D structure is a clover-leaf. The 3D structure is an inverted L. The Acceptor Arm binds the amino acid. The Anticodon loop reads the mRNA.
Question 626 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding DNA Replication Directions.
List-I (Process)List-II (Direction)
A. Synthesis of New StrandI. 5-prime to 3-prime
B. Reading of Template StrandII. 3-prime to 5-prime
C. Bond formationIII. 3-prime to 5-prime (relative to new strand)
New strands are always synthesized 5-prime to 3-prime. The template is read 3-prime to 5-prime. Phosphodiester bond formation involves attacking the 3-prime end, directionally extending 5-to-3, but chemically linking 3-to-5.
