Explanation / Answer

i)The genetic code is overlapping and non-degenerate- False, beause it is degenerative and non overlapping

j) The restriction enzymes recognize cleavage sites of 4 to 8 nucleotides in length that are palindromic-True

k) Fluorescence detection of oligonucleotide fragments produced by the dideoxy method requires radioactive labelling of neucleotides.- True

l) PCR cycles will amplify the target sequence (short strand) exponentially and the parent palindromi radioactive labeling of the nacleotides sequence (long strand) arithmetically-True

m) If the concentration of salt in solution increases, the melting temperature of DNA decreases. -False melting temperature increases.

n) As the percentage of the G-C base pairs increases, the melting temperature of DNA decreasers-False- melting point increases.

o) In the lung, the presence of higher concentration of O promotes the release of H and co2, from hemoglobin.-True

p) The affinity of hemoglobin for 02 increases with increase in CO2 cocnetration-True

q) The oxidation state of Fe in the functional myoglobin is+3._False. it is ferrous state +2 when it can bind with oxygen and is functional.

r) The acidic environment of an exercising muscle makes hemoglobin bind to O, more stromgly-False. Exercise causes increase in metabolism, temperature and acidity which leads to O2 dissociation and supply to muscle which are much in need of oxygen.

s) A single amino acid substitution in the B-chain of hemoglobin causes sickle-cell anemia.True

t) Myoglobin is an allosteric protein, whereas hemoglobin is not. False- Hemoglobin is also an allosteric protein

u) The affinity of hemoglobin for Ois regulated by an organic phosphate (23-BPO), whereas the affinity of myoglobin for O is not.-True because it has more affinity to oxygenated hemoglobin than to de oxygenated hemoglobin.

v) In the lung, the presence of higher concentration of O; promotes the release of H and CO,. -True.
