Select the option for correct pairing of nitrogenous bases in dsDNA.
(Py)Adenine = (Pu)Cytosine :: (Pu)Guanine = (Pu)Thiamine
(Pu)Adenine Thiamine(Py) :: (Py)Cytosine = (Py)Guanine
(Py)Adenine (Pu)Thiamine :: (Py)Cytosine (Pu)Guanine
Adenine(Pu) = Thiamine(Py) :: Guanine(Pu) Cytosine(Py)
The translation unit is represented by the following diagram. Select the correct answer based on this
Promoter/ Terminater/ Coding strand/ Structural gene
Promoter/ Coding strand/ Terminator/ Structural gene
Terminater/ Coding strand/ Structural gene/ Promoter
Promoter/ Structural gene/ Coding strand/ Terminator
D.
Promoter/ Structural gene/ Coding strand/ Terminator
Promoter : Located upstream of initiation codon of structural gene. TATA box in prokaryotes and pribnow box in eukaroytes. Highly conserved sequence.
Structural gene - Sequences involved in actual protein synthesis and are the functional unit of inheritance.
Coding strand - 5'- 3' polarity, sequence same as in mRNA except thymine.
Terminator - This region is downstream of structural gene at the 3'-end of coding strand. It defines end of transcription process.
Given below are the set of statements describing the structural details of Purines (A) and Pyrimidines (BJ.
I. Nine - membered, double ring
II. Six - membered, single ring
III. Contains Nitrogen atoms at four positions
IV. Contains Nitrogen atoms at two positions
