Your Performance  

1.

Which of the following statements is correct ?

  Methionine is found at the N-terminus of nearly all newly synthesised eukaryotic proteins.

  Each mRNA molecule is usually translated into, hundreds of copies of a single polypeptide chain.

  In prokaryotes, both transcription and translation take place in the same part of the nucleus.

  All of the above.

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

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 :

  Sutton-Boveri Hypothesis

  the Monkey-Man Hypothesis

  the Wobble Hypothesis

  the Levene's Hypothesis

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

The base inosine is usually found in :

  rRNA

  tRNA

  mRNA

  hnRNA

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

Prokaryotes use 70S ribosomes which consist of :

  a (small) 30S and a (large) 50S subunit

  a (small) 40S and a (large) 30S subunit

  a (small) 10S and a (large) 60S subunit

  a (small) 40S and a (large) 60S subunit

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

If the mammalian genetic code were a four letter code, then it would have the potential to encode...

  256 amino acids

  64 amino acids

  128 amino acids

  216 amino acids

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

The triplet base sequence of tRNA nucleotides that is complementary to an mRNA codon (for a particular amino acid) is called :

  a retroposon

  a transposon

  an anticodon

  a cistron

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

The movement of peptidyl tRNA from the A site to the P site (of the larger ribosomal subunit) and the movement of mRNA in relation to the ribosome is called :

  dislocation

  translocation

  elongation

  RNA processing

  Half-n-half Clue
