“Master Transcription with Case-Based MCQs: Test Your Understanding!”

1.  A previously healthy 8-year-old develops symptoms of fatigue and anemia. Bone marrow biopsy reveals decreased erythropoiesis, and further molecular analysis shows that the transcription of β-globin mRNA is markedly reduced due to a defect in the assembly of the pre-initiation complex. However, RNA polymerase II is intact and enzymatically functional. Which of the following […]

Genetic Code and Translation: Deciphering the Blueprint of Life

1. The following are all characteristics of the genetic code except: a) Universalb) Degeneratec) Non-overlappingd) Ambiguous Correct Answer: d) Ambiguous Explanation: The genetic code has several key characteristics: Universal → The same codons specify the same amino acids across nearly all organisms, with few exceptions (e.g., mitochondrial genomes). Degenerate → Multiple codons can code for

Case-Based MCQs on RNA Structure and Function: Test Your Knowledge

Case 1: RNA Virus Mutation A researcher is studying a new RNA virus. Unlike DNA viruses, RNA viruses mutate more rapidly. The researcher finds that this rapid mutation is linked to the virus’s single-stranded RNA structure. Question 1: Why does the single-stranded nature of RNA contribute to the high mutation rate in RNA viruses? A)
