Your Performance  

1.

Which of the following is not a stop codon ?

  UAG

  UGA

  UAA

  GUA

  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 :

  the Wobble Hypothesis

  the Levene's Hypothesis

  the Monkey-Man Hypothesis

  Sutton-Boveri Hypothesis

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

A sequence of about 5 to 20 bases seperating one stop codon from the next start codon in a polycistronic prokaryotic mRNA molecule is called :

  a Shine Dalgarno sequence

  a spacer

  a transposon

  a poly-A-tail

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

Most amino acids are encoded by more than one codon except tryptophan and :

  methionine

  lysine

  glycine

  leucine

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

How many amino acids are encoded by the following mRNA sequence : UAUCAUCCACUUGGUUGA ?

  6

  7

  4

  5

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

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 :

  translocation

  elongation

  dislocation

  RNA processing

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

The process of translating mRNA into protein occurs...

  inside the Lysosomes

  within the nucleus

  at the ribosomes
