4. Read the scenario. An evolutionary biologist performs a research project in which she analyzes a specific blood protein found in most mammals. In her analysis, she determined that the protein is made from a sequence of 88 amino acids. She identified each of the specific amino acids that make up the blood protein for five different organisms (A-E). Below is a table that shows the results. The numbers in the table represent the number of amino acids that match when comparing two different organisms. For example, if you compare organisms A and B, you will see that they have 31 amino acids that match. Organisms A B C D E X 31 42 8 65 31 X 14 3 10 A B с D E 42 14 X 72 43 8 3 72 X 19 65 10 43 19 X Using the data above, which two organisms are the most closely related? Oorganisms B and D organisms A and D O organisms C and D Oorganisms A and E

3)Consider the following sequence: 5' - AUGGCUACAGAUAGCUGGGGCUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..3'Translated, the corresponding protein contains how many amino acids: a) 6 b) 7 c) 8 d) 13
A mutational event inserts an extra nucleotide pair intoDNA. Which of the following outcomes do you expect?(1) No protein at all; (2) a protein in which one aminoacid is changed; (3) a protein in which three amino acidsare changed; (4) a protein in which two amino acids arechanged; (5) a protein in which most amino acids afterthe site of the insertion are changed.
DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Scientists analyzing the human genome sequence were surprised to find that some regions of the human genome that are most highly conserved (similar to comparable regions in other species) don't code for proteins at all. Given what you've learned about "genes" speculate on reasons why this might be so.
Working on the Amazon River, a biologist isolated DNA from two unknown organisms, P and Q. He discovered that the adenine content of P was 15% and the cytosine content of Q was 42%. This means that: a. the amount of guanine in P is 15%. b. the amount of guanine and cytosine combined in P is 70%. c. the amount of adenine in Q is 42%. d. the amount of thymine in Q is 21%. e. it takes more energy to unwind the DNA of P than theDNA of Q.
1. Below is the base sequence of protein for normal hemoglobin and the base sequence for the sickle cell hemoglobin:Normal: GGG CTT CTT TTTSickle: GGG CAT CTT TTTa. Transcribe and translate the normal and sickle cell DNA. b. Identify this as a point or frameshift mutation. Explain. c. If the base sequence read GGG CTT CTT AAA instead, would this result in sickle cell hemoglobin? Explain.
Which of the following is/are true? 1. The side chain of methionine is a good hydrogen bond donor. 2. The central dogma of molecular biology describes the process of replicating translating and transcribing rna to produce dna. 3. Nucleotides are composed of nucleic acids.
5)Which type of nucleic acid would have the sequence "ACCGAUUG"? a)DNA b)mRNA c)Another type of nucleic acid d)More information is needed
Notice that when comparing our amino acid sequence to a fruit fly, we have a difference of 29 amino acids. That number jumps drastically when we compare ours to the thesis monkey, which has difference of 1. Why does this make sense?
The median size protein in humans is 8600 amino acids. How does this compare to if our genome was random (21 amino acids long) Explain the difference.
In a population of self-replicating RNA molecules, natural selection would favor those molecules that: a. have longer nucleotide sequences. b. have shorter nucleotide sequences. c. replicate more rapidly. d. replicate with a higher mutation frequency. e. are transported across lipid membranes.
If DNA of a particular species was analyzed and it was found that it contains 27 percent A, what would be the percentage of C? 27 percent 30 percent 23 percent 54 percent
