Q1
What are Restriction Endonucleases and why are they called 'Molecular Scissors' in genetic engineering?
রিকম্বিন্যান্ট ডিএনএ প্রযুক্তিতে রেস্ট্রিকশন এন্ডোনিউক্লিয়েজ (Restriction Endonucleases) উৎসেচককে 'আণবিক কাঁচি' বলা হয় কেন?
रेस्ट्रिक्शन एंडोन्यूक्लिअस क्या हैं और जेनेटिक इंजीनियरिंग में उन्हें 'आणविक कैंची' क्यों कहा जाता है?
A
They join DNA fragmentsডিএনএ জোড়া লাগায়वे डीएनए के टुकड़ों को जोड़ते हैं
B
They cut double-stranded DNA at SPECIFIC PALINDROMIC NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES (e.g., EcoRI cuts at 5'-GAATTC-3' between G and A, generating sticky ends)তারা দ্বিতন্ত্রী ডিএনএ-কে সুনির্দিষ্ট প্যালিনড্রোমিক ক্ষার অনুক্রমে কাটে (যেমন EcoRI উৎসেচক ৫'-GAATTC-৩' সিকোয়েন্সের G ও A-এর মাঝে কাটে)वे विशिष्ट पैलिंड्रोमिक न्यूक्लियोटाइड अनुक्रमों में डबल-स्ट्रैंडेड डीएनए को काटते हैं (उदाहरण के लिए, इकोआरआई जी और ए के बीच 5'-GAATTC-3' पर कटौती करता है, जिससे चिपचिपा सिरा उत्पन्न होता है)
C
They replicate RNAআরএনএ তৈরি করেवे आरएनए की नकल करते हैं
D
They degrade proteinsপ্রোটিন ভেঙে ফেলেवे प्रोटीन का क्षरण करते हैं
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Restriction endonucleases recognize specific 4-8 bp palindromic sequences (e.g., EcoRI recognizes 5'-GAATTC-3') and cleave phosphodiester backbones, generating overhangs (sticky ends) for recombinant DNA construction.
নির্দিষ্ট স্থানে ডিএনএ ফিতা কাটার ক্ষমতার জন্যই এদের আণবিক কাঁচি বা মলিকুলার সিজার বলে।
प्रतिबंध एंडोन्यूक्लाइजेस विशिष्ट 4-8 बीपी पैलिंड्रोमिक अनुक्रमों को पहचानते हैं (उदाहरण के लिए, इकोआरआई 5'-GAATTC-3' को पहचानते हैं) और फॉस्फोडिएस्टर बैकबोन को साफ करते हैं, जिससे पुनः संयोजक डीएनए निर्माण के लिए ओवरहैंग (चिपचिपे सिरे) उत्पन्न होते हैं।
Q2
What is Gel Electrophoresis used for in recombinant DNA technology?
রিকম্বিন্যান্ট ডিএনএ প্রযুক্তিতে জেল ইলেক্ট্রোফোরেসিস (Gel Electrophoresis) পদ্ধতিটি কী কাজে ব্যবহৃত হয়?
पुनः संयोजक डीएनए प्रौद्योगिकी में जेल इलेक्ट्रोफोरेसिस का उपयोग किस लिए किया जाता है?
A

C

D
SEPARATION OF DNA FRAGMENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR SIZE under an electric field through an Agarose gel matrix (negatively charged DNA moves towards positive ANODE; smaller fragments travel faster and farther)বৈদ্যুতিক ক্ষেত্রের প্রভাবে অ্যাগারোজ জেলের মাধ্যমে আকারের ভিত্তিতে ঋণাত্মক ডিএনএ খণ্ডকগুলিকে পৃথক করা (ক্ষুদ্র খণ্ডক দ্রুত অ্যানোডের দিকে যায়)एगरोज़ जेल मैट्रिक्स के माध्यम से एक विद्युत क्षेत्र के तहत डीएनए के टुकड़ों को उनके आकार के अनुसार अलग करना (नकारात्मक रूप से चार्ज किया गया डीएनए सकारात्मक एनोड की ओर बढ़ता है; छोटे टुकड़े तेजी से और दूर तक यात्रा करते हैं)
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Agarose gel electrophoresis separates negatively charged DNA fragments toward the anode (+) based on molecular sieving: smaller fragments migrate faster. Bands are stained with Ethidium Bromide and viewed under UV light (bright orange bands).
ডিএনএ অণু ঋণাত্মক হওয়ায় বিদ্যুৎ দিলে ধনাত্মক অ্যানোডের দিকে ছোটে এবং জেল ছাঁকনিতে ছোট টুকরোগুলি অনেক দূরে আলাদা হয়ে যায়।

How Chapter-Wise Online CBT Tests Build Winning Habits for Future Competitive Exams

Focused chapter-wise CBT practice builds the speed, mental stamina, and analytical discipline required to ace CUET, JEE Main, NEET UG, NDA, CA Foundation, and College Entrance Exams.

Competitive Edge

Real-Time Clock Awareness & Pacing

समय प्रबंधन एवं गति नियंत्रण

In school examinations, students write answers without active pacing. In national entrance tests, students have barely 45-60 seconds per MCQ. Practicing with a 20-minute timer instills instinctive time-budgeting and prevents last-minute exam panic.

Mastery of the Elimination Technique

विकल्प निष्कासन विधि में दक्षता

Top rankers in competitive exams rarely compute every problem blindly. They spot subtle traps, evaluate extreme values, and eliminate 2 out of 4 distractors within seconds. Our 4-option sets teach critical distractor analysis.

CBT Screen Stamina & Digital Comfort

कंप्यूटर आधारित परीक्षा का सहज अभ्यास

Almost all major national exams (CUET, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking) are 100% computer-based. Students who only study on paper experience eye strain and navigation mistakes on exam day. Early CBT practice creates effortless digital fluency.

Immunity to Negative Marking

सटीकता और नकारात्मक अंकन से सुरक्षा

Careless errors—such as misreading "NOT" or "EXCEPT"—ruin thousands of competitive aspirations each year. Regular objective testing builds the habit of double-checking question keywords before locking answers.

Instant Diagnostic Feedback Loop

तत्काल त्रुटि निवारण एवं आत्म-मूल्यांकन

Traditional paper tests take weeks to grade, by which time the student has forgotten their thought process. TargetExams provides instant scorecards and step-by-step solutions while the conceptual puzzle is still fresh.
