Competitions for mates and variances in fitness is higher among females than among males in which of the following animals mating systems?

  • Monogamy

  • Polygyny

  • Polyandry

  • Sequential monogamy


C.

Polyandry

These patterns will be opposite in sex-role-reversed species, where males become the liminting sex and there is greater variance in success in competitions for the mates among females than males. Additionally, whereas sex is costly for both sexes, females appear to bear is costly for both sexes, females appears to bear the dharp end of this expense. Aside from the energy and time expenditure required to engage in copopulation, polyandrous females may, for example, experience greater predation, ne injured and have reduced longevity as a consequence of the receipt of caustic male seminal fluids.

DNA vaccines offer several advantages over other existing vaccine approaches. Which one of the following statements related to DNA vaccines is not correct?

  • The immune response is directed to the antigen encoded by the DNA and able to induce both humoral and cell-mediated immunity

  • DNA vaccine can induce prolonged expression of the antigen, enchancing the induction of immunological memory

  • DNA vaccine could remains stable and potent for long time without refrigeration, eliminating the challenges of storage and transportation

  • DNA vaccines construct can be engineered to carry several antigen to infect host and replicate in neuronal cells.

SoH: site of homology; GoI; gene of interest

What would ensure that proper recombination has taken place?

  • Cells survive when cultured in presence of only G418

  • Cells survive when cultured in presences of G418 followed by ganciclovir

  • Cells die when cultured in presences of G418

  • Cells survive when cultured with G418 and die when cultured with ganciclovir

Detergents at low concentration generally do not denature protein and are thus used for extracting proteins in their field folded and active form. For isolation of 'Porins", an E.coli membrane proteins, which one of the following purification approaches will be most appropirate?

  • Use of low concentration of ionic detergents

  • Use of salt solution containing non-ionic detergents

  • use of salts solution containing ionic detergents

  • Type II class of restriction enzymes do not recoginse palindromic sequences

  • Mung bean nuclease acts on double stranded DNA or RNA termini

  • Type II class of restriction enzymes can generate either "sticky" or blunt ends.
