Which of the following statement is not true about Griffith's experiment?

  • The experiment was conducted in 1928

  • The experiment occurs with Streptococcus pneumoniae

  • R and S-strain of bacteria

  • The experiment proves the process of transduction


216.

In protein synthesis the base sequence of mRNA determines the primary structure of polypeptide chain because

  • it determine the sequence of alignment of amino acid charged tRNA molecule

  • there is one to one coding relationship between each base on mRNA and amino acid

  • each amino acid is defined by a pair of base on mRNA

  • amino acid molecule align directly on the polynucleotide on mRNA

What do you mean to the mutation in which replacement of a nucleotide occur by another similar type?

  • Inversion

  • Transition substitution

  • Transversion substitution

  • Insertion frame- shift


B.

Transition substitution

In transition substitution, one nitrogenous base is replaced by another of similar type. e.g., A  G; C  T

It is induced by tautomerisation (due to rearrangement of H-atoms). The NH2 into -NH or  -CO into -COH.
