5. About double strand DNA repair, it is correct to say that choose the most appropriate answer):
(a) It requires one intact strand as a template for error correction.
(b) Mismatches in the DNA are usually corrected via double strand DNA repair mechanisms.
(c) Homologous recombination usually results in DNA repair with no loss of nucleotide at repair site.
(d) Non-homologous end-joining usually results in DNA repair with no loss of nucleotide at repair site.
6. A eukaryote gene has two introns and three exons. If the structure of the coding sequence is 5'
5) option a and c are most appropriate
A, It requires one intact stand as a template for error correction.
C, Homologus recombination usually results in DNA repair with no loss of nucleotide at repair site.
In cell double strand break ( DSB) appear in cell due to various external DNA damaging agent or during meiosis to carry out recombination. In DSB repair pathway , information of one intact stand is utilized to replac lost DNA fragments.
DSB can repair by homologus ( common in yeast) or no homologous end joining method ( illegitimate method, error prone method ).
6) a) mature mRNA will contain exon1 -- exon 2-- exon 3 sequence
During splicing reaction, all the introns are removed and exons are ligated which form mature RNA. In case of normal splicing in a question all the 3 introns 1,w and 3 will be removed and exon 1 -- exon 2 will be present in functional mRNA.
B) in case of mutation of 5' splice site of intron 2 there will be skipping of exon 2 and mature mRNA will have
exon1- exon 3 in the mature mRNA.

4. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is an important new technique in molecular biology. What is the natural function of this system? Describe how you would use this system to generate a null mutation in another organism (i.e. explain Figure 6-43). How does it work? What is the modification of the method that allows for correction of a mutation (e.g. the mouse crystalline gene)? And lastly, what are the problems with the CRISPR system? FIGURE 6-43 Single-nucleotide mutations can be introduced into...
Explain the discovery, mechanism of action and function of AID (activation-induced deaminase)? SOMATIC HYPERMUTATION (Figures 7 and 8). Indeed, the discovery of AID provided the missing MSH2-deficient mice had previously been taken to indicate that somatic mutation is initiated by diversification at C:G pairs with MSH2-mediated recognition then triggering a subsequent stage of diversification at A:T pairs. Such a two-stage model was supportedations by the observation that CG-biased mutation was also a characteristic of somatic mutation in B-c nes9 and...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
