Explanation / Answer

Hi Answer:

20. A naked virus has

Answer: Option D (No envelope)

Explanation: These naked viruses have no envelope which is made from glycoprotein or lipoproteins. The naked viruses are more resistant to the various agents. They enter into the host cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis, where cell surface receptor binds with viral nonglycosylated protein.

21. One of the following is true about HIV

Answer: Option D (All the above)

Explanation: The HIV is an RNA, retrovirus having reverse transcriptase sequence and causes AIDS.

22. All the following statements are true except

Answer: Option C (There are more tRNA molecules than there are amino acids)

23. An aminoacyl tRNA synthetase catalyzes the amino acid activation and uses

Answer: Option A (Energy equivalent to 2 molecules of ATP)

Explanation: An aminoacyl tRNA synthetase catalyzes the amino acid activation and uses 2 ATP molecules which are produced by the hydrolysis of two high energy phosphate bonds.

24.If the codon has 4 nucleotides instead of 3 nucleotides the number of possible codons would be

Answer: Option B (64)
