The first 3 of 20 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.
Q1. In a double-stranded DNA molecule, if adenine constitutes 20% of the total nitrogenous bases, then the percentage of guanine present will be:
एक द्विरज्जुकी (डबल-स्ट्रैंडेड) DNA अणु में, यदि एडेनीन कुल नाइट्रोजनी क्षारों का 20% है, तो उपस्थित ग्वानीन का प्रतिशत होगा:
- A. 40%
- B. 60%
- C. 30%
- D. 20%
Solution
By Chargaff's rule A = T = 20%, so A + T = 40% and G + C = 60%; since G = C, guanine = 30%.
चारगफ के नियम के अनुसार A = T = 20%, अतः A + T = 40% और G + C = 60%; चूँकि G = C, ग्वानीन = 30%।
Q2. In the Watson-Crick model, the two polynucleotide strands are coiled into a right-handed double helix. The diameter of this B-form DNA helix is approximately:
वाटसन-क्रिक मॉडल में, दो पॉलीन्यूक्लियोटाइड रज्जुक (स्ट्रैंड) एक दायाँ-हाथ वाली (राइट-हैंडेड) द्विकुंडलिनी (डबल हेलिक्स) में कुंडलित होते हैं। इस B-रूप DNA कुंडलिनी का व्यास लगभग कितना होता है:
- A. 3.4 nm
- B. 0.34 nm
- C. 34 nm
- D. 2 nm
Solution
The Watson-Crick double helix has a uniform diameter of 20 Å, i.e. 2 nm. The value 3.4 nm is the pitch (length of one complete turn) and 0.34 nm is the rise per base pair.
वाटसन-क्रिक द्विकुंडलिनी का एकसमान व्यास 20 Å, अर्थात् 2 nm होता है। मान 3.4 nm पिच (एक पूर्ण चक्र की लंबाई) है और 0.34 nm प्रति क्षार युग्म की ऊँचाई (राइज़) है।
Q3. According to the salient features of the Human Genome Project, the approximate total number of base pairs in the human genome is:
मानव जीनोम परियोजना की प्रमुख विशेषताओं के अनुसार, मानव जीनोम में क्षार युग्मों की अनुमानित कुल संख्या है:
- A. 3164.7 million / 3164.7 मिलियन
- B. 2164.7 million / 2164.7 मिलियन
- C. 1400 million / 1400 मिलियन
- D. 4600 million / 4600 मिलियन
Solution
The human genome contains approximately 3164.7 million (about 3.1 billion) base pairs.
मानव जीनोम में लगभग 3164.7 मिलियन (लगभग 3.1 बिलियन) क्षार युग्म होते हैं।
