Multiple choice

Your Performance  

1.

An enzyme that recognizes and cuts DNA only at a particular sequence of nucleotides is often called :

  Restriction endonuclease

  RNA polymerase

  Photolyase

  DNA glycosylase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

A major difference between DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is :

  there is only one replication origin in prokaryotes.

  replication is conservative in prokaryotes

  DNA amylase performs the function of DNA helicase in prokaryotes

  prokaryotes do not use Topoisomerase in the replication process

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

What does transformation involve in Bacteria ?

  the creation of a strand of RNA from DNA

  assimilation of external DNA into a cell

  the creation of a strand of DNA from RNA

  the infection of cells by a phage DNA molecule

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

The enzyme responsible for initiating the unwinding of double-stranded DNA (eliminating supercoiling) by nicking a single strand of the DNA molecule is :

  Gyrase

  Topoisomerase

  Ligase

  Helicase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

The enzyme X removes RNA primers attached by Primase and this gap is then filled in by DNA Polymerase I. The enzyme X is :

  RNase H

  DNA amylase

  DNA ligase

  Reverse Transcriptase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

A repeating DNA sequence at the end of chromosomes that prevents them from losing base pair sequences at their ends and from fusing together is called :

  A Telomere

  A Telomerase

  A replicon

  None of the above.

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

The enzyme (made of proteins and RNA) that elongates chromosomes by adding TTAGGG sequences to the end of existing chromosomes is :

  Telomerase

  Exonuclease

  Endonuclease

  Amylase

  Half-n-half Clue
