Question

Every rRNA gene in the human genome contains which of the following?

A. A specific 3’TAC5’ sequence in the template strand

B. A specific sequence in the last exon of the template strand that is complementary to one of the stop codons

C. A promoter for binding of RNA polymerase

D. A sequence complementary to the poly-A tail

E. A sequence complementary to the ribosomal binding site

Which of the following is wrong about alternative splicing?

A single pre-mRNA produces various mature mRNAs.

Some of the introns are translated

Some of the exons may not be translated.

A gene can produce more than one protein.

Damaged DNA is selectively removed by the splicing machinery

Two of the above

A.

A single pre-mRNA produces various mature mRNAs.

B.

Some of the introns are translated

C.

Some of the exons may not be translated.

D.

A gene can produce more than one protein.

E.

Damaged DNA is selectively removed by the splicing machinery

F.

Two of the above

Explanation / Answer

e. A sequence complementary to the ribosomal binding site. The small ribosomal subunit contains rRNA that is complementary to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. also known as ribosome binding site.

f. Two of the above. Damaged DNA is selectively removed by the splicing machinery. and Some of the introns are translated.
