Question

A suppressor mutation can occur in the coding or noncoding region of a gene.

	True
	False

The only nucleotides required to be present for intron removal by the spliceosome are the 5' and 3' splice site consensus sequences.

	True
	False

Which statement is NOT TRUE about the process of transduction?

Question 50 options:

	Recombination between the phage DNA and donor’s DNA takes place.
	Recombination occurs between the recipient’s DNA and the transferred donor’s DNA
	The donor cell’s DNA is cleaved as a result of infection by a bacteriophage
	The donor cell’s DNA is accidentally packaged into phage particles.

Answer 1

1. Answer: Option A is correct
Explanation:
The given statement is true
A suppressor mutation is a second site modification/mutation that restores the WT phenotype in a mutant.
It can occur in the coding region or noncoding region.

2. Answer: Option B is correct
Explanation:
The given statement is false.
Splicing involves the removal of introns and joining of exons together.
It requires 5', 3'-splice site consensus sequences, and a branch point.

50. Answer: Option A is correct
Explanation:
Transduction = Transfer of genetic material between two bacteria with the help of a bacteriophage.
It is a horizontal gene transfer mechanism.
It involves the recombination between donor DNA and recipient DNA.
