Which is not true about the genetic code?
Report Question
0%
It is exactly the same in all organisms
0%
It is composed of a tripletcode of three bases per codon
0%
It produces 64 different possibilities of base sequences
0%
It contains start and stop codons as instructions
Explanation
The genetic code is the coding sequence which constitutes three base pairs called as codons.
These codons are responsible for the formation of specific proteins.
There are 64 different codons that were introduced to produce different amino acids.
These codons are different for the different organism, no two organisms have the same codons as they may be deleterious.
These codes help in the transformation of genetic information from one generation to another by the process of translation (Protein synthesis).
Start codons are the initiation site of translation where protein synthesis occurs while stop codons are those bases which stops the process of formation of proteins and are called as termination codons.
So, the correct option is 'It is exactly the same in all organisms'.

Which of the following is not true of a codon?
Report Question
0%
It extends from one end of a tRNA molecule
0%
It never codes for more than one amino acid
0%
It may code for the same amino acid as another codon does
0%
It consists of three nucleotides
Explanation
A codon is the shortest sequence that consists of only three nucleotide bases. Each codon codes for only one amino acid. This means codons are universal in nature and will code for the same amino acid in all organisms.
A particular amino acid can be coded by more than one codon. Example: Arginine is coded by six codons CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG.
The codons are continuous and commaless in nature.
So, the correct option is 'It extends from one end of a tRNA molecule'.

2
Explanation
As there are 20 amino acids thus there must be at least 20 unique combinations of the bases. If the code is singlet i.e., consists of only one base then possible codons can be (6)1=6, which is far less than the required number i.e., 20. If the code is doublet (made up of combination of two bases) then the possible codons can be (6)2=36. 36 is sufficient (even more) than the required number. Here some amino acid could be coded by more than one codon and some codons will function as start and stop codons.
So, the correct answer is ''2'.

Explanation
A nucleotide has three components - nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar ribose in case of RNA and deoxyribose for DNA) and a phosphate group. There are two types of nitrogenous bases - Purines (Adenine and Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Cytosine and Thymine). A nitrogenous base is linked to the pentose sugar through a N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside. When a phosphate group is linked to 5 -OH of a nucleoside through phosphodiester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide is formed. The nucleotides are linked through 3-5 phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide.
So, the correct answer is 'Phosphodiester bonds'.

0%
Explanation
Correct option: C
Explanation:
If the replication had been conservative then the two strands of DNA would have been preserved in one daughter cell and in other an entirely new DNA would have been formed. Hence no hybrid N14/N15 DNA would have been observed.
As the bacteria are grown for one generation in N15 medium and then for three generations in N14 medium, therefore, the amount of N14 DNA will be more than that of N15 DNA.
So, the correct answer is 'C'.

UUU is the initiation codon which also codes for phenylalanine.
0%
There are 64 triplet codons and only 20 amino adds.
0%
Three random nitrogen bases specify the placement of one amino acid.
0%
UAA is the nonsense codon which also codes for methionine.
Explanation
Once transcription and processing of rRNAs, tRNAs and snRNAs are completed, the RNAs are ready to be used in the cell ‑ assembled into ribosomes or snRNPs and used in splicing and protein synthesis. But the mature mRNA is not yet functional to the cell. It must be translated into the encoded protein. The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases). The adaptor molecule for translation is tRNA. A charged tRNA has an amino acid at one end, and at the other end it has an anticodon for matching a codon in the mRNA. The machinery for synthesizing proteins under the direction of template mRNA is the ribosome.
So the correct option is 'there are 64 triple codons and only 20 amino adds'.

0%
(i - d) (ii - c) (iii - b) (iv - a)
Explanation
Degeneration codon is a codon which along with other codon/s specify for a single amino acid. AGA codes for arginine amino acid. The same amino acid is encoded by AGG, CGA, CGC, CGG, CGT codons. Initiation codon is the first codon of the mRNA. AUG is an initiation codon that codes for methionine. Non-sense codons causes termination of translation. There are 3 non-sense codons, namely UAG, UAA and UGA. Anti codon is a region present on tRNA that is complementary to a codon in the mRNA. Anti codon for TCA is AGU.
Thus, the correct answer is '(i - d) (ii - a) (iii - b) (iv - c).'

satellite DNA occuring as highly short DNA segments.
Explanation
By cutting a sample of DNA into fragments and comparing it with other samples it's possible to work out if the DNA has come from the same person. This technique is called DNA fingerprinting, and is a technique used to help solve crimes where the suspect may have left a sample of body tissue at the crime scene. Satellite DNA consists of very large arrays of tandemly repeating, non-coding DNA. Satellite DNA is the main component of functional centromeres, and form the main structural constituent of heterochromatin. The term satellite is used to describe DNA sequences that comprise short head-to-tail tandem repeats incorporating specific motifs. So, the correct option is "Satellite DNA occurring as highly short DNA segments."

Third base of codon lacks vibrating capacity.
0%
Third base can establish H-bonds even with the non-complementary anticodon.
0%
Specificity of a anticodon is particularly determined by first two codon.
0%
Major cause of degeneracy is the first two N-bases of codon.
Explanation
The wobble hypothesis explains the degeneracy of codon (one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon). It explains that t-RNA containing one amino acid can bind to more than one codon which depends on the nonprecise base pairing between the third base of the codon and the first base of anticodon this explains that the third base can establish H-bonds even with the non-complementary anticodon.
So, the correct answer is 'Third base can establish H-bonds even with the non-complementary anticodonn'.

Tyrosine
Explanation
In, DNA the start codon initiates the translation of the first amino acid in the polypeptide chain. The most common
start codon
is AUG and codes for
methionine.
GUG
is an efficient
initiation codon or start codon and codes for Valine. AUG is the start codon
83% of the time and GUG 14% of the time
So, the correct answer is "A Valine".
