QUESTION 28
Synthetic biology predicts that the minimal set of essential genes is in the tens of thousands.
A. True
B. False
QUESTION 31
Glucose inhibits the activity of what enzyme?
A. |
adenylyl cyclase |
|
B. |
Beta-galactosidase |
|
C. |
cAMP |
|
D. |
RNA polymerase |
Ans
1. A is correct
Blunt Ends cut by the restriction endonucleases are a straight cut, down through the DNA that results in a flat pair of bases on the ends of the DNA. So there will be no single stranded nucleotides hanging.
2. False
Essential genes are those genes of an organism that are thought to be critical for its survival. Experiments concluded that the absolutely required number of genes for bacteria is on the order of about 250–300. So it cannot be tens of thousands.
3. Ans is A
A,C. Glucose inhibits the activity of adenylyl cyclase which further inhibits the cAMP. Adenylyl Cyclase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).THE cAMP is low when flucoseeis present , because of the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase enzyme.
B. Glucode. Inhibits the synthesis of beta galactosidase.
D. Glucose breakdown product inhibits the formation of the CAP-cAMP complex required for RNA polymerase to attach at the lac promoter site.
