  • question_answer
    Arrangement of gene sequences in representative 50kb segments of two organisms is shown. Genes above the line are transcribed left to right and below the line to the left.
    (I)  Each segment indicates single stranded. DNA in 5' to 3' orientation (left to right).
    (II) Segment I is likely to represent a prokaryote and segment II, a eukaryote such as worm.
    (III)Segment II is less likely to have stop codons as compared to segment I.
    Select the option with correct statements.

    A) (I) only

    B) (II) only

    C) (III) only

    D) (I), (II) and (III)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since each segment shows genes which are transcribed in both the directions i.e., left and right, so this is a double-stranded DNA. Segment II shows interrupted genes which have stop codons.
