Question

Recombinant DNA technology is used a. for gene therapy b. to clone a gene c. to make a particular protein d. all of the above are correct e. repetitive DNA Which of these is NOT needed to perform the cloning of an animal? a sperm from a donor male b. suspension in time for the nucleus and donor cell c. enucleated egg from a donor animal d. host female to develop the embryo e. all of the above are needed Gene therapy has been used to treat which of these? a. cystic fibrosis b. familial hypercholesterolemia c. severe combined immunodeficiency d. all of the above tandem clusters DNA fingerprinting with gel electrophoresis can be used for which of these? a. identifying human remains b. identifying infectious diseases c. finding evolutionary links between organisms d. solving crimes e. all of the above Chargaff found that DNA had special relationships between the bases. He observed that: a. A = C & T = G b. C = T & A = G c. A = T & G = C d. C A T = D O G

Explanation / Answer

62. b. Guanine

According to the Chargaff’s rule : G=C.

So, the amount of cytosine is always equal to the amount of guanine in DNA.
