Molecular Genetics

The key difference is that RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) has ribosomes attached to its surface, which is why it appears rough under a microscope. SER (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum) lacks ribosomes and has different functions like lipid synthesis. Neither contains DNA.

RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA), carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs. DNA remains in the nucleus, the nucleus is the organelle containing DNA, and the nucleolus produces ribosomal RNA.

The 8;14 translocation activates the myc oncogene, which is a transcription factor.

Nucleolus participates in protein synthesis by forming and storing RNA. 

The genetic material in viruses can be either DNA or RNA.

Viroids consist of a single-strand RNA molecule and lack a protective protein coat. They were discovered in the late 1960s.

Introns are DNA bases, which are found between exons, but are not transcribed. The DNA sequence of the intron does not encode protein and is not highly conserved.

Small nuclear ribonucleic acid (snRNA) is a small RNA molecules that are found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is a component of the splicosome.

This is the correct option. Transcription of rDNA takes place either in FC region or at FC-DFC boundary.

Translation of proteins occurs outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.

Cajal bodies are involved in a number of roles in RNA processing like snRNA maturation and histone mRNA modification.

This gene from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 activates viral gene expression and is essential for HIV replication.

Correct answer. FASTA is a DNA and protein sequence alignment software package.

This option is correct because anticodon is a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides in transfer RNA (tRNA) that binds to a corresponding codon in messenger RNA (mRNA) and designates a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
