Question

Transfer RNA in eukaryotic cells is synthesized by which of the following enzymes (sensitive to high concentrations of the fungal poison a-amanitin, but not to low concentrations)?

  1. RNA polymerase I
  2. DNA polymerase I
  3. RNA polymerase II
  4. DNA polymerase II
  5. RNA polymerase III

Which of the following processes of genetic information flow can occur under laboratory conditions, but has never been observed to occur under natural conditions (either in living cells or in viruses)?

  1. transcription of RNA from a DNA template (using DNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase)
  2. self-replication of RNA from an RNA template (using RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase)
  3. direct-translation of protein from a DNA template (using special ribosomes)
  4. self-replication of DNA from a DNA template (using DNA-dependent-DNA-polymerase)
  5. translation of protein from an RNA template (using ordinary ribosomes)
