The molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome is:
A. tRNA
B. snRNA
C. mRNA
D. rRNA
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from DNA and carries the codon sequence to ribosomes, where it is translated into a polypeptide. tRNA brings amino acids, rRNA forms ribosomal structure, snRNA involved in splicing.

Question #1
The enzyme that cuts DNA at specific sequences is:
A. Ligase
B. Polymerase
C. Restriction endonuclease
D. Helicase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Restriction enzymes recognize specific palindromic sequences and cleave the DNA backbone, producing sticky or blunt ends for cloning.

Question #2
Which of the following pairs is a symbiotic nitrogen fixer in leguminous plants?
A. Azotobacter - Wheat
B. Frankia - Casuarina
C. Anabaena - Azolla
D. Rhizobium - Soybean

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rhizobium species form root nodules in leguminous plants like soybean, pea, and bean, where they fix atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically. Azotobacter is free-living, Anabaena associates with Azolla (a fern), Frankia with non-leguminous plants like Casuarina and Alnus. This symbiosis reduces the need for nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture.

Question #3
The component of the bacterial cell wall that is targeted by lysozyme is:
A. Cellulose
B. Peptidoglycan
C. Chitin
D. Lipopolysaccharide

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lysozyme, an enzyme found in tears, saliva, and egg white, hydrolyzes the β-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in peptidoglycan, weakening the bacterial cell wall and causing lysis. It is part of innate immunity. Penicillin inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis.
