Question contain STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason).Question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
Statement 1 :DNA is associated with proteins.
Statement 2 :DNA binds around his tone proteins that form a pool and the entire structure is called a nucleosome
-
Solution
A chain of DNA has 140 base pairs, make 31/4 turns and twist around a histone octamer forming nucleosome. The core of nucleosome consists of 4 histones H2A, H2B, H3and H4
Question contain STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason).Question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
Statement 1 :Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semiautonomous organelles.
Statement 2 :They are formed by division of pre-existing organelles as well as contain DNA but lack protein synthesizing machinery
-
Solution
Mitochondria and chloroplasts both are double membrane organelles. They are semi autonomous as both their structrue and functions are partially controlled by nucleus of the cell and partially themselves. Both possess their own DNA and arises from pre-existing cells.Synthesis of many amino acids occurs in mitochondria.The first formed amino acids are glutanic acid and aspartic acid.
Also plastid manufactures some of its own proteins,enzymes and other chemicals because of the presence of 70S ribosomes which can help translate the coded in formation contained in mRNAs transcribed over chloroplast DNA.DNA replication is the process of forming carbon copy of DNA. Whereas transcription is the formation of RNA over DNA template.
