Genes which are located only in the X-chromosome are known as
epistasis genes
holandric genes
operator genes
antiepistasis genes
If the sequence of bases in the coding strand of a double-stranded DNA is 5'-GTTCGAGTC-3', the sequence of bases in its transcript will be
5'-GACUCGAAC-3'
5'-CAAGCUCAG-3'
5'-GUUCGAGUC-3'
5'-CUGAGCUUG-3'
Nucleosome contains
Only histone protein
Both DNA and histone protein
Only DNA
Both DNA and RNA
What will be the percentage of guanine in a DNA molecule having 20% adenine?
20%
30%
40%
60%
B.
30%
According to Chargaff's rule,
A (Adenine)= T (Thymine); C (Cytosine)= G (Guanine)
If the % of A = 20 %
Then, T is also 20 % or A + T = 40 %
Therefore, G + C = 100 - 40 = 60%
Hence, G = 30%
