Question #2
Which enzyme catalyzes the primary carboxylation reaction in the Calvin cycle?
A. Nitrogenase
B. RuBisCO
C. PEP carboxylase
D. Carbonic anhydrase

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the most abundant protein on Earth and the key enzyme in the Calvin cycle (C3 pathway). It catalyzes the fixation of CO2 by attaching it to Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to form a 6-carbon intermediate that immediately splits into two molecules of 3-PGA.

Question #3
The process of copying genetic information from DNA to mRNA is called:
A. Transcription
B. Replication
C. Transformation
D. Translation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from the DNA template strand by RNA polymerase. It occurs in the nucleus (eukaryotes). Replication is DNA duplication. Translation is protein synthesis from mRNA. Transformation is the uptake of foreign DNA by bacteria. The central dogma: DNA → RNA → Protein. Transcription produces mRNA, tRNA, rRNA. The mRNA carries the codon sequence for protein assembly.
