Question 641 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Split Gene Arrangement.
List-I (Part)List-II (Fate)
A. ExonsI. Spliced together, Expressed
B. IntronsII. Removed during splicing, Intervening
Exons are the expressed sequences kept in mRNA. Introns are removed.
Question 642 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding DNA vs RNA Mutability.
List-I (Molecule)List-II (Mutation Rate)
A. DNAI. Slow, Stable
B. RNAII. Fast, Unstable
DNA mutates slowly due to high stability. RNA mutates faster due to instability.
Question 643 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Nucleotide Composition.
List-I (Molecule)List-II (Components)
A. NucleosideI. Sugar + Base
B. NucleotideII. Sugar + Base + Phosphate
Nucleoside = Sugar + Base. Nucleotide = Nucleoside + Phosphate.
Question 644 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Base Pairing.
List-I (Pair)List-II (Bonds)
A. A-TI. 2 Hydrogen Bonds
B. G-CII. 3 Hydrogen Bonds
A pairs with T via 2 H-bonds. G pairs with C via 3 H-bonds.
Question 645 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding DNA Replication Speed.
List-I (Parameter)List-II (Value in E. coli)
A. Replication timeI. ~18-20 minutes
B. Rate of polymerizationII. 2000 bp per second
E. coli replicates in ~18-20 mins (division time 20 min). The polymerase works at ~2000 bp/sec.
Question 646 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Polymerase Specificity.
List-I (Enzyme)List-II (Template -> Product)
A. DNA dependent DNA polymeraseI. DNA -> DNA
B. DNA dependent RNA polymeraseII. DNA -> RNA
C. Reverse TranscriptaseIII. RNA -> DNA
DNA pol makes DNA from DNA. RNA pol makes RNA from DNA. Reverse transcriptase makes DNA from RNA.
Question 647 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Genetic Code Wobble.
List-I (Position)List-II (Feature)
A. Third base of codonI. Wobble position (less specific)
B. First two basesII. Highly specific
The third base is often the wobble base, allowing degeneracy where changes often don't alter the amino acid.
Question 648 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding Sickle Cell Anemia.
List-I (Change)List-II (Result)
A. DNA SequenceI. GAG to GUG
B. Amino AcidII. Glutamic Acid to Valine
In Sickle Cell Anemia, the DNA/RNA codon changes from GAG to GUG, causing Glutamic Acid to be replaced by Valine.
Question 649 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding the Lac Operon genes and their products.
List-I (Gene)List-II (Product)
A. z geneI. Repressor protein
B. y geneII. Transacetylase
C. a geneIII. Beta-galactosidase
D. i geneIV. Permease
In the Lac Operon: The z gene codes for Beta-galactosidase, which hydrolyzes lactose. The y gene codes for Permease, which increases the permeability of the cell to lactose. The a gene codes for Transacetylase. The i gene (inhibitor) codes for the Repressor protein,.
Question 650 of 668
📘 CLASS XII
Match List-I with List-II regarding methodologies used in the Human Genome Project (HGP).
List-I (Term)List-II (Description)
A. ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags)I. Vectors for cloning large DNA fragments
B. Sequence AnnotationII. Sequencing only genes expressed as RNA
C. BAC and YACIII. Principle used for automated sequencing
D. Sanger MethodIV. Sequencing whole genome (coding & non-coding)
ESTs involve sequencing only those genes that are expressed as RNA. Sequence Annotation is the blind approach of sequencing the whole genome (coding and non-coding) and then assigning functions. BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) and YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome) are vectors used for cloning. The Sanger Method is the principle behind automated DNA sequencing,,,.
