Which statement is correct regarding ABC transporters?

• Consist of the transmembrane domain as well as the nucleotide-binding domain 

• All are P-glycoproteins     

• Present in only eukaryotes    

• Makes membrane porous   

In prokaryotes during replication, the lagging strand is synthesized in a series of short fragments known as Okazaki fragments, consequently requiring many primers. The RNA primers of Okazaki fragments, consequently requiring many primers. The RNA primers of Okazaki fragments are subsequently degradaed by DNA Polymerase I and the gap are filled. How DNA Polymerase I fills the gap once the primer have been removed from lagging strand?

• DNA Polymerase I has its own primer          

• DNA Polymerase I do not require primer   

• DNA from leading strand serves as primer  

• Ends of existing Okazaki fragments on lagging stand serves as primer  

Substrate for DNA synthesis is?

• Nucleotide tri phosphate       

• Nucleoside tri phosphate  

• Nucleoside pyrophosphate   

• Ribonucleotide tri phosphate

Presence of circular mRNA for a specific protein in an eukaryotic cell reflects a rapid rate of synthesis of that protein. Following mechanism are suggested:

b. Ribosome are less active in recognizing circular mRNA

c. PABP and eIF‐4A promote this process

d. Ribosome can reinitiate translation without being disassembled

In eukaryotic chromatin, 30 nm fibre (solenoid) can open up to give rise to two kinds of chromatin. In one type (A), the promoter of a gene within the open chromatin is occupied by a nucleosome whereas in the other (B), the promoter is occupied by histone H1. The following possibilities are suggested

A. The gene in (A) is repressed

B. The gene in (B) is repressed

C. The gene in (A ) is active

D. The gene in (B) is active

Based on the structural regions of a nuclear receptors shown in the diagrams, the following predicts were made

A. Region F is responsible for binding to ligands and conditions two zinc finger‐like binding motifs.

B. Receptors with A/B domains generally associate with chaperons and do not bind to DNA.

C. Region E indicate that receptors associate with chaperones which protect the nuclear hormone receptors.

D. Region C contains the P‐bod and the D‐box required for dimerization of the receptor and creates contact with DNA phosphate backbone.
