Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) refer to

  1. All genes that are expressed as proteins.
  2. All genes whether expressed or unexpressed.
  3. Certain important expressed genes.
  4. All genes that are expressed as RNA.

Answer

(4) All genes that are expressed as RNA.

Solution

In the Human Genome Project, one approach was to identify all the genes that are expressed as RNA; these are referred to as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs).

The other approach, sequence annotation, sequences the whole genome (coding and non-coding) and later assigns functions.

Answer: (4)

The process of translation of mRNA to proteins begins as soon as:

  1. The small subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA
  2. The larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA
  3. Both the subunits join together to bind with mRNA
  4. The tRNA is activated and the larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA
