Question preview

Three examples from the live 100-question bank. Answers appear after attempting them in practice mode.

Example 1 · difficulty 1/5

In the nomenclature of the restriction endonuclease EcoRI, the letter 'R' denotes the:

  • A. genus of the bacterium from which the enzyme was isolated
  • B. species of the bacterium from which the enzyme was isolated
  • C. strain of the bacterium from which the enzyme was isolated
  • D. order in which the enzyme was isolated

Example 2 · difficulty 2/5

The single-stranded overhangs ('sticky ends') generated when DNA is cut with EcoRI are useful in recombinant DNA technology mainly because they:

  • A. pair by complementary hydrogen bonding with matching overhangs, making it easy for DNA ligase to seal the sugar-phosphate backbone
  • B. prevent self-ligation of the vector unless a foreign insert is present
  • C. allow DNA fragments to enter host cells directly without any treatment of the cells
  • D. protect the cut DNA ends from digestion by exonucleases

Example 3 · difficulty 1/5

In a polymerase chain reaction cycle, the step performed at approximately 72 °C, during which Taq DNA polymerase synthesises new DNA strands complementary to the template, is known as:

  • A. Denaturation
  • B. Primer extension
  • C. Annealing
