Explanation / Answer

1) Which statement is True regarding sex-linked recessive traits or diseases in humans?

The correct answer is the option (E) None of the above are true

In sex-linked recessive traits, both parents chromosomes being affected equally.

2) Which of the following choices are parts of a nucleotide, the functional unit of nucleic acids?

The correct answer is the option (E) All of the above are parts of a nucleotide

When a nitrogenous base is linked to a pentose sugar, a nucleoside is formed. When a phosphate group is added to a nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed.

3) Purines are a double ring structure and include Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)

The correct answer is the option (C) double, A, G

4) Heterochromatin is about 25 % of the genome and is considered "good" DNA because it codes for genes

The correct answer is the option (B) False

Heterochromatin is inactive and has little or no transcriptional activity.

5) Who discovered the structure of DNA?

The correct answer is the option (A) Watson and Crick

Watson and Crick proposed the double helical model of DNA.

6) DNA replication is a bidirectional process.

The correct answer is the option (A) True

A replication fork moves in one direction opening fresh segments of DNA duplex for the replication process. But a single origin, two replication forks are formed and the two forks move in opposite directions. Therefore the replication process is bidirectional.

7) During DNA replication, one "parental/maternal" molecule of DNA will give rise to two "daughter" molecules of DNA. each daughter molecule is composed of one strand from the mother molecule and one new strand created from the mother molecule. This concept is why DNA replication is called...

The correct answer is the option (C) semiconservative

The parental DNA duplex is replicated to form two daughter duplexes, each of which consists of one old parental strand and one newly synthesized strand. This phenomenon is called semi-conservative replication.
