The 3D structure of the complete Escherichia coli ribosome with bound mRNA and tRNAs revealed that the very amino terminus of one protein (L27) does reach into the active site. This finding suggested a role for this protein in catalysis. To test this possibility, the nine amino acids at the L27 amino terminus that were in close proximity to the active site were eliminated by mutation. The following possible outcomes were found to be correct as

A. The resulting cells produced ribosomes with reduced but detectable peptidyl transferase activity

B. Region of the L27 protein contributes to peptidyl transferase activity

C. The mutant ribosomes, didn’t synthesised wildtype levels of cells

D. Vast majority of this increase in peptide bond formation is retained, even without the presence of L27 in the active site

E. The most likely role for L27 is to correctly position one or more of the RNA components of the active site

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. If an F1 plant is cross with the heterozygous for bitter and no spots, what phenotypes ratio are expected in the offspring?

We can construct a genetic map by considering the recombination frequencies for each pair of genes. The recombination frequency between a and b is 50%, a and c is 50%, and b and c is 20%. What will be the correct prediction about this statements;
a)  Recombination frequency between genes a and b and gene a and c is expected with independent assortment
b) The genes a and b and gene a and c may either be on different chromosomes or be very far apart on the same chromosome;  so we will place them in different linkage groups
c) The gene b and c are linked
d) The gene b and c are unlinked
Which of the following is the correct sequence?
