複選題4. Which of the following statements are true? (A) Bacterial mRNA normally occurs as a double-stranded structure, with one strand containing codons, the other containing anticodons. (B) Bacterial mRNA is broken down within a few minutes of its formation in E. coli. (C) Bacterial mRNA consists only of the bases that code for amino acids. (D) The three ribosomal RNAs in a bacterial ribosome are distributed in three separate, large ribosomal subunits. (E) Bacterial mRNA can be translated while it is still being synthesized.

5. A microarray is a large collection of specific DNA oligonucleotides spotted in a defined pattern on a microscope slide. What is the most useful experiment that can be done with such a tool? (A) Evaluating the linkage relationships of genes (B) Comparing newly synthesized nuclear RNA with cytoplasmic RNA to locate introns (C) Comparing RNA produced under two different physiological conditions to understand patterns of gene expression (D) Comparing proteins produced under two different physiological conditions to understand their function (E) Predicting the presence of specific metabolites in a cell

複選題6. Which of the following statements are true for the enzyme reverse transcriptase? (A) It is sensitive to high temperatures and so can be readily "killed" by heat treatment when the reaction is completed. (B) It does not require a primer to initiate polymerization as do most DNA polymerases. (C) It is insensitive to high temperatures and so can survive the many cycles of heating required to perform the polymerase chain reaction. (D) It is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. (E) It lacks the proofreading function of most DNA polymerases and so is able to utilize mRNA from mutated genes as a template.
