Which number should follow in this sequence?

6, 10, 7, 11, 8, 12, ?
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 4

This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. In the first pattern, 4 is added and in the second, 3 is subtracted.
Pattern is:
6 + 4 = 10,
10 - 3 = 7,
7 + 4 = 11,
11 - 3 = 8,
8 + 4 = 12,

Analyze the subsequent two statements and select the correct option.

Assertion (A): The differential equation (ey - 4) sin x dx - ey cos x dy = 0 is not an exact equation.
Reason (R): The differential equation Mdx Ndy = 0 is considered exact if

Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 5

We have (ey - 4) sin x dx - ey cos x dy = 0
Here M = (ey - 4) sin x and N = - ey cos x

The differential equation is exact. Thus, A is false, but R is true.

Save

Which amino acid listed below does not engage in transamination during the process of catabolism?
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 6

Valinomycin acts as a mobile ion carrier and is utilized as an antibiotic. Which organism(s) is/are the source of this antibiotic?
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

Many microbial species produce antibiotics, which are toxic to certain other microbial species. For example, valinomycin is produced by Streptomyces fulvissimus.

The DNA obtained from the cells of a specific species underwent biochemical analysis to determine its sequence. It was observed that the content of A (adenine) in the DNA is approximately 30%. Calculate the percentage of G (guanine) present.
(Give your answer in percentage)

Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 14

According to the Chargaff's rule, the molar ratio of A to T (or G to C) equals 1, i.e. the amount of A in a dsDNA is equal to that of T.
Thus,
Amount of T in the DNA = 30%
The total content of A + T = 30 + 30 = 60%
Therefore, the remaining 40% DNA would be constituted by G and C.
Since, G = C, G = C = 40/2 = 20% each
or, the content of G in DNA = 20%

A significant category of pumps powered by ATP are the ABC-type ATPases, commonly referred to as ABC transporters. The catalytic domains of these proteins bind ATP during the transport process.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

A. ATPases were first identified in prokaryotic organisms, but an increasing number have also been found in eukaryotic organisms.

B. They form a vast superfamily of transport proteins that share similarities in both sequence and molecular mechanism.

C. They possess only two ATP-binding domains and lack integral domains.

D. In contrast to most ABC transporters, MDR exhibits a notably broad specificity, enabling it to export a diverse array of chemically distinct drugs from cells.
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 18

The typical ABC-type ATPase has four domains, two of which are highly hydrophobic while the other two are peripherally located on the cytosolic side of the membrane. Each of the two embedded domains has six transmembrane segments that form a structure through which solutes pass. The two peripheral domains are actually the cassettes that bind ATP and couple ATP hydrolysis to the intracellular transport. In some cases, these four domains are a part of a large multifunctional polypeptide.

GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 19
Save

The modification of proteins after translation occurs within the ER and Golgi apparatus.
I. The formation of disulphide bonds in the lumen of the ER is aided by the enzyme Protein Disulphide Isomerase (PDI).
II. Proteins synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm and organelles do not contain disulphide bonds.

Assess the most suitable relationship between the two statements provided.
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 19

The cytosol has a reducing environment which maintains cysteine residues in their reduced state and disulphide bonds are not formed. Hence, cytoplasmic proteins and organelle proteins synthesized on free ribosome lack disulphide bonds. The disulphide bonds in secretory proteins are synthesized in the ER lumen facilitated by enzyme Protein Disulphide Isomerase (PDI).

Which of the following assertions regarding E. coli are accurate?

P. E. coli is classified as a gram-negative, non-spore forming prokaryote.

Q. It has the ability to undergo natural transformation with foreign genes, making it a valuable tool in recombinant DNA technology.

R. Its genome was the first to be sequenced among prokaryotes.

S. Certain strains of E. coli can cause disease in humans.
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 20

E. coli is a gram-negative, non-spore forming prokaryote and some of the strains are pathogenic to humans. Though it is used as a microbial model in genetics experiments, it cannot be naturally transformed. It is transformed by first making it competent for taking up foreign genes. Its genome was the first prokaryotic genome to be sequenced.

GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 21

Which of the following statements is true for both archaebacteria and eubacteria?

P. The cell wall of archaebacteria includes muramic acid, whereas the cell wall of eubacteria consists of peptidoglycan lacking muramic acid.
Q. The cell wall of archaebacteria does not have muramic acid, while eubacteria's cell wall contains peptidoglycan with muramic acid.
R. Archaebacteria show no sensitivity to chloramphenicol, in contrast to eubacteria, which do exhibit sensitivity to chloramphenicol.
S. Archaebacteria are sensitive to chloramphenicol, whereas eubacteria are not.
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 21

Archaebacteria are primitive bacteria that are usually found in extreme environments. They differ highly from eubacteria in their cell structure and functions, e.g. they don't have muramic acid in their cell walls while eubacteria do. Similarly, archae are insensitive to chloramphenicol but eubacteria are sensitive to it.

Instructions: Each amino acid in a protein is represented by a distinct triplet nucleotide sequence in mRNA, referred to as a codon. This means that for every 3 nucleotide base pairs in the gene, there corresponds one amino acid in the resulting protein.

What would be the estimated molecular weight of the duplex DNA required to produce a protein with a molecular weight of 40,000?

Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 4 - Question 29

Average molecular weight of an amino acid residue = 110
Therefore, the no. of amino acids in the protein = 40,000/110 ~ 364
Since, three bp are required to code for one amino acid,
Hence, minimum no. of bp in DNA = 3 × 364 = 1090
Average weight of one bp = 650
Hence, molecular weight of 1090 bp = 650 × 1090 = 7,08,500
