What do you call the cellular process of RNA production? What is the main function of the mitochondria? Where in the cell does glycolysis take place? What reads mRNA to produce a polypeptide? What is the term used to describe a molecule that is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic? Where in the cell does pyruvate decarboxylation occur? What is the major structural material making up ribosomes? The mode of cell division that results in four daughter cells that are genetically different, with each cell containing one haploid set of chromosomes, is knows as? A dihybrid cross SS tt times ss TT is made in which S is dominant, but there is no dominance between T and t. Assuming independent assortment, how many phenotypic classes are expected in F2? Disulfide bonds are often found to stabilize which of the following levels of protein structure? Solution Answer : Q1. Transcription is the molecular biology term used to describe the synthesis of RNA from DNA. This is catalysed by RNA polymerase enzyme. Q2. Mitochindria is the site of TCA cycle, Electron transport chain and Fatty acid oxidation. This is the organelle involved in the synthesis of ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. Q3. Cytoplasm is the site in the cell where glycolysis ( Breakdown of glucose) occurs producing two molecules of pyruvates. Q4. tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule that reads the mRNA (messenger RNA) to produce a protein in a process called translation which occurs in the cytoplasm. Q5. Amphipathic is the term used to describe a molecule possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophillic parts..
