Explanation / Answer

Hi Answer:

35. Which of the following is not true about Gel electrophoresis

Answer: Option E. (None of the above (All of the statements are true)

Explanation. Gel electrophoresis is the technique used to separate the charged biomolecules according to their size in the presence of electric field. It is used in for proteins, DNA, RNA in Western, Southern, Northern blotting as well as used for the separation of DNA fragments in DNA fingerprinting.

36. Which of the following statement is not true regarding CRISPER –CAS9

Answer: Option E (All the statements are true)

Explanation: The CRISPR/Cas stands for (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated nucleases) system which was originally discovered to be an acquired immune response mechanism used by archaea and bacteria. This system is used as molecular tool to bring required changes in the DNA sequence of gene. It is one of the natural occurring enzyme system found in bacteria.

37. Given the short DNA anticodon sequence TAC GGC AGC TTG

Answer: Option A (AUG CCG UCG AAC)

38. You are a lab teach working in forensics for the NYPD. You are given a hair sample recovered from a crime scene. You are asked to produce a DNA profile (fingerprint). You recover a few Nanograms of DNA from the hair sample. What is the next step to producing a DNA fingerprint

Answer: Option C (Polymerase chain reaction to amplify the DNA)

Explanation: As DNA quantity is very less and not enough for whole procedure so the first step after DNA isolation will be the PCR amplification of the isolated DNA so that the sufficient amount of DNA can be produced to run the subsequent reactions. In the option all steps of the DNA fingerprinting protocol is given but the PCR amplification is the first step after DNA isolation.

39. Which is not an application of DNA fingerprinting?

Answer: Option E (All are the application of DNA fingerprinting technique)

40. Which is not the true statement regarding GMOs

Answer: Option E None of the above (all statement are true)

Explanation: GMOs are the genetically modified organisms they are used to produce their own pesticides, these pesticides are chemicals which have a negative effect on human beings. They can be engineered to produce drought resistant and high nutrition containing foods.
