Green fluorescent proteins (GFP) are naturally occurring proteins that emit green light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Widely used as a biomarker, GFP can be genetically fused to other proteins to visualize and track their location and movement within living cells, aiding in biological research and imaging. This […]

MCQ on Gene Knockout Technology- Principles and Applications
Gene knockout is a genetic technique wherein a specific gene is intentionally deactivated or “knocked out” in an organism. This allows researchers to study the effects of gene loss, revealing insights into gene function and its role in biological processes. This is an MCQ on Gene Knockout Technology- Principles and […]

MCQ on Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
The central dogma of molecular biology is a fundamental concept that describes the flow of genetic information in cells. It states that DNA encodes genetic instructions, which are transcribed into RNA, and then translated into proteins. This unidirectional process governs how genetic information is used to build and regulate living […]

MCQ on DNA Structure and Functions
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a molecule that carries genetic information in living organisms. It consists of a double helix structure made up of nucleotides containing four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). DNA serves as a blueprint for the development, functioning, and reproduction of cells and […]

MCQ on RNA Structure and Functions
RNA, or Ribonucleic Acid, is a molecule essential for various biological processes. It consists of a single strand of nucleotides, including adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). RNA plays a central role in protein synthesis, gene expression, and carries genetic information in some viruses. This is an […]
