Vitamin D is also known as

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Vitamin D is also known as sunshine vitamin.

Test: Vitamins & Nucleic Acids - Question 2

When a protein is subjected to physical changes the protein loses its biological activity. This is known as:

Detailed Solution: Question 2

The correct answer is Option D
This loss of biological activity by the protein is called denaturation. During denaturation, the secondary and the tertiary structures of the protein get destroyed, but the primary structure remains unaltered. One of the examples of denaturation of proteins is the coagulation of egg white when an egg is boiled.

Test: Vitamins & Nucleic Acids - Question 3

_________ are biocatalysts which speed up the reactions in biosystems.

Detailed Solution: Question 3

The correct answer is Option A
Biocatalysis refers to the use of living (biological) systems or their parts to speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions. In biocatalytic processes, natural catalysts, such as enzymes, perform chemical transformations on organic compounds.

Nucleotides in DNA are linked by

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Phosphate is linked to carbon of 1 and carbon of the other sugar molecules.

Test: Vitamins & Nucleic Acids - Question 9

If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATGCTTGA, the sequence in the complimentary strand would be

Detailed Solution: Question 9

On the basis of structure of guanine and complementary bases present in them, we can say that if the sequence of bases in one strand of DNA is I, then the sequence in the second strand should be II
A:

Test: Vitamins & Nucleic Acids - Question 10

A sequence of how many nucleotides in messenger RNA makes a codon for an amino acid?

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The sequence of bases in mRNA are read in a serial order in groups of three at a time. Each triplet of nucleotides (having a specific sequence of bases) is known as codon. Each codon specifies one amino acid. Further since, there are four bases, therefore, triplets or codons are possible.

Test: Vitamins & Nucleic Acids - Question 11

The process by which synthesis of protein takes place based on the genetic information present in -RNA is called

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Synthesis of polypeptide is known as translation. For this process three type of RNA are essential.
