With the help of DNA fingerprinting which can be used to determine paternity. There are three babies (Baby A, Baby B and Baby C) in a maternity ward, and three sets of confused and worried parents. (Father and Mother #1 are a couple, as are Father and Mother #2, and Father and Mother #3.) 

You do each PCR reaction on chromosome 15 and load each one into a separate well of an agarose gel, and then run the gel.

 

 which number of repeats did Baby C inherit from his mother?

Nitrite reductase will convert nitrite to ammonium. There are two types of nitrite reductase characteristics given below;

a) Both nitrite reductase consist of a single 63kD polypeptide

b) In leaf chloroplasts and root plastids contain different forms of the nitrite reductase enzyme

c) In shoot nitrite reductase directly dependent on the light reaction by the ferredoxin, it activates nitrite reductase in choloroplast

d) NADPH in the roots is provided by pentose phosphate pathway, it also activate nitrite reductase in the plastids

Which of the correct statement about nitrite reductase characteristics?

NH4+ is toxic to plants, inhibit dinitrogenase and also interfere energy metabolism by dissociating ATP formation  from ETC  in both mitochondria and chloroplasts. What will plant cells do to avoid this problem?

a) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into nitrate

b) Plant cells avoid ammonium toxicity by rapidly converting the ammonium generated from nitrate assimilation or photorespiration into amino acids

c) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT)

d) The pathway for this conversion involves the sequential actions of Aspartate aminotransferase (Asp-AT) and Asparagine synthetase (AS)

Which of the above statements is incorrect?

During ammonium assimilation, requires two enzymes converting ammonium to amino acids. Each of which is Glutamine synthetase (GS), given below some statements about GS ;

a) GS transfers the amide group of glutamine to 2-oxoglutarate, yielding two molecules of glutamate

b) it requires a divalent cation such as Mg2+, Mn2+, or Co2+ as a cofactor

c) Plants contain two classes of GS, one in the cytosol and the other in root plastids or shoot chloroplasts

d) The cytosolic forms are expressed in germinating seeds or in the vascular bundles of roots and shoots and produce glutamate for intercellular nitrogen transport

e) The GS in root plastids generates amide nitrogen for local consumption; the GS in shoot chloroplasts reassimilates photorespiratory NH4+

f) Light and carbohydrate levels alter the expression of the cytosolic forms of the enzyme, but they have little effect on the plastid forms.

Which of the following statements is correct?
