1-Dont try to cram or spend more time here just read it fast and cover syllabus then practice MCQ's cheptor of same topic to check your progress. . |
2-Wrong options are also given but dont concentrate there, Right answer is in bold format. |
Q1 ⇒ The replication of chromosomes by eukaryotes occurs in a relatively short period of time because each chromosome contains multiple replicons [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] the eukaryotes have more amount of DNA for replication the eukaryotic replication machinery is 1000 times faster than the prokaryotes eukaryotic DNA is always single stranded |
Q2 ⇒ Which of the following possesses both 5'-3' and 3'-5' exonuclease activity? Kornberg enzyme [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] DNA polymerase III Taq DNA polymerase None of these |
Q3 ⇒ Proofreading activity to maintain the fidelity of DNA synthesis is a function of the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerases [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] occurs after the synthesis has been completed requires the presence of an enzyme separate from the DNA polymerases occurs in prokaryotes but not eukaryotes |
Q4 ⇒ Which of the following enzymes unwind short stretches of DNA helix immediately ahead of a replication fork? Helicases [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] DNA polymerases Single-stranded binding proteins Topoisomerases |
Q5 ⇒ During which of the following process a new copy of a DNA molecule is precisely synthesized? Replication [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Trasformation Transcription Translation |
Q6 ⇒ Which of the following lacks 3'-5' exonuclease activity? All of the above [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Short fragment of DNA polymerase I Taq DNA polymerase T4 DNA ligase |
Q7 ⇒ Both strands of DNA serve as templates concurrently in replication [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] excision repair mismatch repair none of these |
Q8 ⇒ DNA gyrase is inhibited by nalidixic acid [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] tetracycline both (a) and (b) cephalosporin |
Q9 ⇒ The synthesis of DNA by DNA polymerase occurs in the 5' to 3' direction [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] 3' to 5' direction 5' to 5' direction 3' to 3' direction |
Q10 ⇒ Which of the following statements on replication in E.coli is correct? It occurs in bidirectional manner [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] It occurs in a unidirectional manner Always uses T7 DNA polymerase when infected by T7 phage Occurs only when λ phase has infected E. coli |
Q11 ⇒ In E.coli, which enzyme synthesizes the RNA primer for Okazaki fragments? DnaG [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] DnaA DnaC all of these |
Q12 ⇒ DNA replication rates in prokaryotes are approximately of the order of 1,000 bases per second [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] 10 bases per second 1,00 bases per second 10,000 bases per second |
Q13 ⇒ The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA is called DNA polymerase [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] DNA gyrase DNA ligase helicase |
Q14 ⇒ Which of the following repairs nicked DNA by forming a phosphodiester bond between adjacent nucleotides? DNA ligase [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Helicase DNA gyrase Topoisomerases |
Q15 ⇒ During DNA replication in prokaryotes, synthesis begins on the circular chromosome always at the same place [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] at any stretch of DNA that is high in AT pairs randomly on the chromosome at the promoter |
