Your Performance  

1.

The base sequence of the RNA strand transcribed from a DNA strand of the sequence T-G-C-A-G-C-A-C-A is :

  A-C-G-U-C-G-U-G-U

  A-C-G-U-C-G-U-G-U

  U-G-C-A-G-C-A-C-A

  G-U-A-C-U-A-C-A-C

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

A gene that encodes RNA that functions without being translated into a protein is called :

  An RNA gene

  AN Oncogene

  A quiet gene

  A pseudogene

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

Due to the presence of Introns and Exons, in Eukaryotes the splicing process of pre-mRNA can lead to different ripe mRNA molecules and therefore to different proteins. This phenomenon is called :

  alternative splicing

  gene splicing

  intronic splicing

  exonic splicing

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

A series of 20 to 200 Adenine ribonucleotides that is added to the 3' end of the transcribed RNA molecule (pre-mRNA) that helps in the transportation of mRNA out of the nucleus is called :

  trailer

  a Shine-Dalgarno sequence

  the poly-A-tail

  cap

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

The switch of an operon is turned on if specific substance is not bound to the operator. This substance is called :

  a repressor

  a promoter

  an operon

  an activator

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

Proteins that bind between the promotor region and the section of the gene which is transcribed thus blocking transcription (preventing gene expression) are called :

  Repressors

  inducer

  Activators

  Operator

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

A G-C-rich stretch of nucleotides, followed by an A-T-rich stretch of nucleotides is the signal for :

  Rho dependent termination

  Initiation

  Rho independent termination

  transcription

  Half-n-half Clue
