[A] : Organisms that bear large number of common amino acid sequence may be con- sidered to be more closely related than to those with greatly different amino acid se- quence. [R]: The proteins are chemical finger prints of evolutionary history because they bear amino acid sequences that have changed as a re- sult of genetic change

On a planet from a distant galaxy, the pilot vehicle collected a sample of bacteria-like material. On analysis, it showed proteins having 30 types of amino acids while the DNA has 6 types of bases. In the genetic code, a sequence of how many bases should be serving as a codon?

Go through the following statements: (i) a typical nucleosome contains 400 bp of DNA helix. (ii) The positively charged DNA is wrapped around the negatively charged histoned octamer to form a structure called nucleosome. (iii) Histones are rich in the basic amino acid residues asparagine ad valine (iv) The packaging of chromatin at higher level requires additional set of proteins that collectively are referred to as nonhistone chromosomal proteins. Find out the wrong statements:-

The sequence in which amino acids are linked to one another in a protein molecule is called its:

A homopolymer has only one type of building block called monomer repeated 'n' number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomer. Proteins are heteropolymers made of amino acids. While a nucleic acid like DNA or RNA is made of only 4 types of nucleotide monomers, proteins are made of

After the addition of the last amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain during the process of protein synthesis, one of the termination codons reaches the appropriate site on the ribosomal surface and then the following envents take place (i) Release of t-RNA molecule from the ribosome. (ii) Dislodging of polypeptide chain from the t-RNA (iii) Dissociation of ribosomes into large and small subunits. The correct sequence of these events:

A sequence of nucleotides on DNA 'CATCATCATCAT' is changed through mutation to 'CAATCATCATCAT'. What is this type of mutation called?
