You start by looking at the mutations that Yanofsky recovered in TrpA. One of these mutations affected amino acid number 177 and changed it from Leucine to Arginine – because Yanofsky recovered it in his screen, that means that having an Arginine in this position does not allow the TrpA gene to function properly. Assuming that this particular mutation induced by Yanofsky was a single nucleotide change, what are the possible codons of Leucine that could be found at this position in wild-type TrpA? What are the possible codons for Leucine that could be found in the mutant?
A mutation is found in a tRNA-encoding gene. The wild type (non-mutant) allele (version) produces a tRNA that recognizes the codon GAA, and is charged with the amino acid glutamic acid (Glu). The mutant tRNA is still charged with Glu, but it recognizes the codon UAA. What effect will this have on translation in these cells? How will the proteins produced be different? Speculate: is this mutation more likely to be beneficial or harmful?
You are studying the tryptophan synthetase gene that Yanofsky also examined to determine the relationship between the nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence of the gene. Yanofsky found a large number of mutations that affected the tryptophan synthetase gene. A) If you took this mutant E. Coli line (that has an Arginine at this location) and exposed it to a mutagen that could potentially change bases, what are the second mutations you would most likely discover that would restore the activity of the tryptophan synthetase gene and where would it be located? B) Most of the mutations that Yanofsky recovered were missense mutations. However, Yanofsky also recovered a nonsense mutation that changed amino acid number 15 into a stop codon. This codon normally encodes Lysine. Does the recovery of this mutation support the hypothesis that this Lysine residue is critical in the function of the tryptophan synthetase protein?
Below is a sequence of 540 bases from a genome. What information would you use to find the beginnings and ends of open reading frames? How many open reading frames can you find in this sequence? Which open reading frame is likely to represent a protein- coding sequence, and why? Which are probably not functioning protein-coding sequences, and why? Note: for simplicitys sake, analyze only this one strand of the DNA double helix, reading from left to right, so you will only be analyzing three of the six reading frames shown in Figure 19.4.
Describe the anticodon of a single tRNA that could recognize the codons 5′–AAC–3′ and 5′–AAU–3′. What type(s) of base modification to this tRNA would allow it to also recognize 5′–AAA–3′?
The wobble rules for tRNA-mRNA pairing are shown. If we assume that the tRNAs do not containmodified bases, what is the minimum number of tRNAs needed to recognize the codons for the following types of amino acids? A. Leucine B. Methionine C. Serine
Consider the following portion of mRNA produced by the normal order of DNA nucleotides: 5’ – CUU AAA CCA GUU – 3’ a. What is the template DNA sequence that was used to synthesize this portion of mRNA? b. What is the amino acid order produced from this mRNA? c. Write the amino acid sequence if a mutation changes CUU to CAU. Is this likely to affect protein function?
Consider the following tRNAs, where the numbered forms represent the amino acids associated with them, answer briefly: PICTURE Question 1: The numbering indicates the order in which these tRNAs are recruited to the A site of the ribosome. Write the sequence of the mRNA being translated in the 5' - 3' direction Question 2: What is the amino acid sequence of the produced polypeptide? Question 3: Researchers discover that a mutation is in the anticodon of the gene encoding the proline tRNA of an individual. The anticodon sequence is normally 3' GGA 5', but in this individual the anticodon sequence is 3' GGG 5'. It appears that this individual suffers no adverse consequences. How can this be?

The consensus sequences for the -35 and -10 sites are shown below. Explain what the numbers next to the nucleotides mean. If you were going to mutate two of these nucleotides in order to eliminate the function of one or both of these sites which nucleotides would you mutate and why?
Shown below is an R loop prepared for electron microscopy by annealing a purified eukaryotic messenger RNA with DNA from a genomic clone containing the full-length gene corresponding to the mRNA. (a) How many exons does the gene contain? How many introns? (b) Where in this structure would you expect to find a 5′,5′-internucleotide bond? Where would you expect to find a polyadenylic acid sequence?
The covalent attachment of an amino acid to a tRNA is an endergonic reaction. In other words, it requires an input of energy for the reaction to proceed. Where does the energy come from to attach amino acids to tRNA molecules?
Consider the tryptophan codon 5′ - UGG - 3′ in the standard genetic code . Can a single base change in this codon create a synonymous mutation? Can a single base change in this codon create a nonsense codon?
