In eukaryotes during post transcriptional modification, which of the following enzyme/s can degrade mRNA before its translation?
a) phosphatases          
b) nucleases
c) helicase                   
d) both a and b

d

Which of the following event/s occur/s during the post transcriptional modification of mRNA in eukaryotes?
a) removal of introns
b) addition of cap
c) addition of tail        
d) all of these

d

The removal of introns and maturation of primary mRNA to secondary or functional mRNA is called………
a) RNA binding         
b) RNA degradation
c) RNA splicing         
d) RNA synthesis

c

Explanation: RNA splicing is a process that removes the intervening, non-coding sequences of genes (introns) from pre-mRNA and joins the protein-coding sequences (exons) together in order to enable translation of mRNA into a protein



During post transcriptional modification of mRNA, a poly……tail is attached to 3’ end of mRNA.
a) A    
b) G                
c) C                
d) U

a

Explanation: Called poly A tail


Genetic code is the sequence of …….. that determines the specific..…sequence.
a) amino acids----nucleotides            
b) nucleotides---nucleotides
c) nucleotides---amino acids            
d) amino acids---amino acids


c

 Which of the following is/are biochemical basis of heredity?
a) gene                        
b) genetic code
c) protein                    
d) all of these

b

Explanation: genetic code is nearly universal in all organisms
