Your Performance  

1.

The base inosine is usually found in :

  hnRNA

  rRNA

  mRNA

  tRNA

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

In prokaryotic mRNA, a particular base sequence (AGGAGGU) exists near the AUG start codon. This sequence which is sometimes referred to as the ribosome binding site is known as :

  a Shine Dalgarno sequence

  a Kozak's consensus sequence

  a trailer sequence

  a promoter sequence

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

Some tRNAs can recognize more than one codon because there is a relaxation of the complementation rule of base pairing between the anticodon and codon in the third position (of the codon sequence). This relaxation is called :

  the Levene's Hypothesis

  the Wobble Hypothesis

  Sutton-Boveri Hypothesis

  the Monkey-Man Hypothesis

  Half-n-half Clue

6.

Which of the following is not a stop codon ?

  GUA
