Question

Mitosis occurs only in gametic cells True False They are both correct None is correct Haploid cells have 2 times 23 chromosomes while diploid cells have 1 times 23 chromosomes True False They are both correct None is correct Punette square is used to study futuristic inheritance True False They are both correct None is correct Recessive traits are gene present but is not expressed m cells True False They are both correct None is correct A codon codes for one ammo acid? True False Both a and b are correct Both a and b are incorrect None of the above is true In protein translation, AUG sequence on the A slot in the ribosome initiate protein synthesis (not reviewed-look at your lecture ppt) What are you talking about sir? I know, the answer 'true' and the ammo acid made is methionine Let me read this question carefully again None of these options are correct

Explanation / Answer

29. (b) False

Mitosis is the type of cell division in which two daughter cells are formed with same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. It occurs in both somatic cells and gametic cells.

30.(b) False

Haploid have  23 chromosomes, while diploid have the 46 chromosomes (double set ie 2x23)

31. (a) True

The Punnett Square is a diagram that is used to predict Mendelian inheritance.

32. (a) True

For every gene two alleles are present in the cell: Dominant and recessive. Dominant is expressed while recessive is not. However, it can still pass on to offsprings and expressed in a later generation.  

33. (c) both a and b are correct.

The genetic code is degenerate. There is one codon for every amino acid but some amino acids are coded by more than one codon and there are some codon which are called stop codon and dont code for any amino acid.

34. (b) I know the answer is 'true' amino acid made is methionine.

AUG is the start codon and is the first codon of a messenger RNA translated by a ribosome. The start codon is always AUG and codes for methionine in eukaryotes.
