In tomato plant, red (R) is dominant over yellow (r) for fruit color and purple (P) is dominant over green (p) for stem color. Fruit color and stem color assort independently. The number of progeny plants of different fruit/stem colors obtained from a mating are as follows:
Red fruit, purple stem - 145
Red fruit, green stem - 184
Yellow fruit, purple stem - 66
Yellow fruit, green stem - 47
What are the genotypes of the parent plants in this mating?
A. RrPp × Rrpp
B. RrPp × RrPp
C. RRPP × rrpp
D. RrPP × Rrpp
Answer: Option A
RNA is very much susceptible to hydrolysis in alkali because
A. It contains uracil residues in its structure
B. its 2'-OH group participate in intramolecular cleavage of phosphodiester backbone
C. Cleavage occurs in the glycosylic bonds of purine bases
D. Cleavage occurs in the glycosylic bonds of pyrimidine bases
A. Binding of the rho protein upstream of the termination element
B. No protein factors and only RNA secondary structure and run of 'U's
C. Presence of UGA or UAA stop codons
D. Binding of accessory factors at termination signal
A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason for (A)
B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct reason for (A)
C. (A) is false but (R) is true
D. (A) is true but (R) is false
