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:

In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest, is translated to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (A-D) in this regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as a vector/vectors Statement (A) A bacterium (B) Plasmid (C) Plasmodium (D) Bacteriophage

If a continuous function f defined on the real line R assume positive and negative values in R, then the equation f(x)=0 has a root in R. For example, if it is known that a continuous function f on R is positive at some point and its minimum value is negative, then the equation f(x)=0 has a root in R. Consider f(x)= ke^(x)-x , for all real x where k is a real constant. For k > 0, the set of all values of k for which y=ke^(x)-x=0 has only one root is

Given a hypothetical segment of functional DNA strand 3'-GGC AAC CTT GGC 5', the corresponding polyptptide segment could be:-

A segment of DNA has base sequence GAC GAC CGC AAA ACA AGC. Due to deletion, the first base 'G' is deleted. the likely effect of this on the coding of DNA segment is that
