If one arginine has a molecular mass of 174 Daltons, what would be the molecular mass of a circular polymer of 38 arginines?

6612 Dalton

5928 Dalton

5966 Dalton

5982 Dalton

The answer shown here is wrong as in case of circular peptide no water molecule is released and all 38 bonds form.

The answer is correctly explained. Whether the polymer is linear or circular, peptide bond formation always proceeds with release of water molecule. The only difference is that in the formation of linear protein polymer, the number of water molecules released is 1 less than the number of amino acids. In cyclic peptides, the number of water molecules released is the same as the number of amino acids involved.

Protein synthesis in bacteria ends when an antibiotic; puromycin, is added because

its peptidyl end resembles the tyrosyl-tRna a 7 helps binding of amino acid tyrosine

puromycin resembles tyrosyl-tRNA

it binds to peptide with C-terminus of growing polypeptide causing termination of polypeptide chain

it binds at 'A' binding site and terminates the polypeptide chain

Louis Pasteur used swan-neck flasks and meat broth in these flasks, and boiled them for several hours. The flask remained free of microbial contamination for months. After several months, when he broke the neck of one of the flasks, contamination by air and proliferation of microorganisms in the fluid occurred. This experiment disproved the concept of (theories of evolution)

spontaneous generation

biogenesis

panspermia

None of these

It is rightly marked as 'Spontaneous generation' and the same is deduced from the explanation as well.
