  1. If one strand of DNA has the nitrogenous base sequence at ATCTG, what would be the complementary RNA strand sequence








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Sequence of DNA is ATCTG then sequence of m-RNA will UAGAC. As adenine base pairs with uracil and guanine with cytosine.

    Correct Option: B

  1. The association of histone H1 with a nucleosome indicates:








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The association of H1 protein indicates the complete formation of nucleosome which requires DNA condensation. The DNA is therefore in condensed form.

    Correct Option: B

    The association of H1 protein indicates the complete formation of nucleosome which requires DNA condensation. The DNA is therefore in condensed form.

  1. Which of the following RNAs should be most abundant in animal cell?

    A polysome or polyribosome is a complex of an mRNA molecule and two or more ribosomes, which is formed during the active translation process. They were initially named as ergosomes in 1963. However, further research by Jonathan Warner and Alex Rich characterized polysome.
