Multiple choice

Your Performance  

1.

An enzyme (used by all retroviruses) that transcribes genetic information of the virus from RNA into DNA, is :

  Reverse transcriptase

  RNA polymerase

  Restriction nuclease

  Methylase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

DNA Polymerase III is actually an aggregate of several different protein subunits. So it is often called a :

  Holoenzyme

  Primeosome

  replisome

  None of the above

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

What does transformation involve in Bacteria ?

  the creation of a strand of RNA from DNA

  the creation of a strand of DNA from RNA

  assimilation of external DNA into a cell

  the infection of cells by a phage DNA molecule

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

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
 

5.

The enzyme that (during replication) proceeds along one of the strands of a DNA molecule adding deoxy-nucleotide-triphosphates to hydrogen bond with their appropriate complementary dNTP on the other single strand and to form a covalent phosphodiester bond with the previous nucleotide of the same strand is called :

  DNA Polymerase III

  DNA Polymerase II

  DNA Polymerase I

  Primase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

In 1940, Nobel Laureate Barbara McClintock discovered sequences of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell and cause mutations. These sequences (first observed in maize) are called :

  Transposons

  inverted repeats

  direct repeats

  sticky ends

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

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

  prokaryotes do not use Topoisomerase in the replication process

  there is only one replication origin in prokaryotes.

  replication is conservative in prokaryotes

  DNA amylase performs the function of DNA helicase in prokaryotes

  Half-n-half Clue
