1)A. how do you read a sequence of DNA (template or non-template strand) to convert it an mRNA sequence and to a protein? B.How does chromatin remodeling regulate gene transcription? C. What are the major differences between gene expression in bacteria and eukaryotes D. How are non-coding regions involved in gene transcription? E. Explain how eukaryotic genes sometimes produce multiple protein products?
f you made a change in the promoter sequence in the DNA that inactivates the promoter, what would happen at the RNA level? A-Nothing, because the RNA would be made as usual B-Transcription factors would be unable to bind and the RNA polymerase would not be recruited to the DNA, so no RNA would be made. C-The mutation of the DNA would be carried through to the RNA sequence. D-The DNA helicase would not be able to recognize and bind the DNA, so the RNA would not be made. EXPLAIN WHY THE ANSWER YOU CHOOSE IS CORRECT
For each statement about gene expression mechanisms, choose the correct end to the sentence. For each gene, the template strand for transcription is determined by…. The direction of translation is determined by…… The tissue-specificity of protein production is determined by…. choices: a. location of the start codon b. location of the promoter c. direction of polymerization by RNA polymerase d. none of these e. direction of movement of ribosomes f. overall orientation of the chromosome
1. a)how is it possible for such drugs to selectively kill bacterial cells and not our own cells? b)Provide an example of post-translational regulation of protein activity and explain the advantage of regulating each protein/process at the post-translational level instead of the transcriptional level.
If a mutation occurred in a control element sequence associated with a particular gene, which of the following would be a likely consequence of this? A. This mutation is not likely to affect the expression of the associated gene, because RNA polymerase does not bind to control elements. B. This will likely affect the expression of the associated gene because it will loosen the coiling of chromatin at this site. C. The expression of the associated gene will be affected because this change will result in a nonsense mutation. D. This mutation is not likely to affect the expression of the associated gene, since control elements are noncoding sequences. E. The associated gene's expression would likely be affected, since this mutation would change the ability of at least one transcription factor to bind.
