RNA polymerase II

Explanation / Answer

Question 23-

RNA polymerase I -> a pre-rRNA 45S

RNA polymerase II -> precursors of mRNAs & most snRNA and microRNAs

RNA polymerase III -> tRNAs, rRNA 5S and other small RNAs

RNA polymerase IV -> siRNA

RNA polymerase V -> RNAs involved in siRNA-directed heterochromatin formation

So, the right option is [A] RNA polymerase II

Question 24-

Option I, III, and IV are incorrect

So, the option II is right

Question 34-

Deletion of codon -cause loss of one amino acid

a substitution of the first nucleotide of a GGG codon -change one amino acid

a deletion of two nucleotides-cause frame-shift mutation and alter the whole reading frame, henceforth

a substitution of the third nucleotide in an ACC codon-cause change one amino acid

an insertion of a codon- add one amino acid

therefore, III option is correct

question 35-

            UV-rays-causes

            nucleotide analogs- can cause only if inserted

            indels-causes

            X-rays-can cause
