30. The protein-protein interaction can be detected by:
(A) Far western blot
(B) Western blot
(C) Northern blot
(D) Southern blot

26. The ribosome-binding site in mRNA is named as? (A) Shine-Dalgarno sequence (B) Okazaki sequence (C) Kozak sequence (D) Watson and Crick sequence

27. Pre-miRNA can be digested to mature miRNA by? (A) Argonaute (B) Slicer (C) DGCR8/ Pasha (D) Dicer

28. The antibiotic puromycin can terminate translation by mimicking the structure of? (A) 16S rRNA (B) 23S rRNA (C) tyrosyl-tRNA (D) stem and loop structure of 3' UTR of mRNA

29. Which enzyme is NOT involved in RNA editing? (A) RNA ligase (B) terminal uridylyl transferase (TUTase) (C) RNA triphosphatase (D) exo-nuclease

1. Chi sites are _________. (A) generated from Holliday junctions (B) inverted repeats (C) binding sites for RecA protein (D) specific sequences in prokaryotic genomes where crossovers occur (E) specialized single-stranded region

2. A single nucleotide deletion occurred in a gene. The change is indicated below. What is the consequence of the mutation? ......AGT CGA TGA GTT AGC CTA...... → ......AGT CGA TGG TTA GCC...... (A) The mutation occurs in the third position of a codon so it is likely to be a silent mutation because of the Wobble effect. (B) It leads to frameshift so the downstream amino acid sequence will alter and the protein is unlikely to be functional. (C) It results in premature termination of translation so a truncated polypeptide will be produced. (D) A longer polypeptide will be made but the protein might still be functional. (E) It changes the single amino acid, which may or may not cause a problem.

3. What is the purpose of the inverted repeats at the ends of DNA-based transposons? (A) The inverted repeats are recognized by enzymes that move the elements. (B) The inverted repeats are the sites of transfer. (C) The inverted repeats are recognized by restriction enzymes that cut out the transposon. (D) The inverted repeats are magnets for nucleases. (E) The inverted repeats protect transposons from degradation.

4. What is 5' UTR? (A) 5' untranscribed region: it refers only to the promoter region. (B) 5' untranscribed region: it includes promoter and enhancer. (C) 5' untranscribed region: it regulates transcription activity. (D) 5' untranslated region: it is removed during RNA splicing. (E) 5' untranslated region: it must contain the first exon.

5. Rolling circle replication ________. (A) begins when the origin of replication is pulled apart to generate a replication bubble (B) occurs at the origin of vegetative replication (C) begins when the origin of replication is nicked and one strand is unrolled (D) occurs when a plasmid replicates in step with host cell division (E) occurs bidirectionally that can rapidly synthesize multiple copies

複選題6. Regarding molecular cloning using restriction enzyme and ligase. (A) Blunt end is clean and thus easier to be ligated. (B) Ligase also mediates joining of sticky ends by catalyzing the formation of hydrogen bonds. (C) Two sticky ends with complementary overhangs can be perfectly ligated but the restriction enzyme recognition site is not necessarily restored. (D) Restriction enzyme more efficiently cuts at the ends of DNA fragments. (E) Phosphatase treatment of both digested vector and digested insert reduces self-ligation so that correct ligation is enhanced.
