In the figure below, the coding sequence for gene F is read from left to right, and the coding sequence for gene G is read from right to left.   1.) Top OR Bottom Strand 2.) Top OR Bottom Strand

What Art the Features of the Series of -omes? Define the following terms: a. Genome b. Transcriptome c. Proteome d. Metabolome e. Fluxome

Transcribe and translate the following DNA sequence (nontemplate strand): 5’-ATGGCCGGTTATTAAGCA-3’

Heteroduplex DNA Formation in Recombination From the information in Figures 28.17 and 28.18, diagram the recombinational event leading to the formation of a heteroduplex DNA region within a bacteriophage chromosome.

An individuals set of unique _______ can be used as a DNA profile. a. DNA sequence c. short tandem repeats b. SNPs d. all of the above

Figure 28.41 gives some examples of recombination in IgG codons 95 and 96, as specified by the Vkand Jkgenes. List the codon possibilities and the amino acids encoded if recombination occurred in codon 97. Which of these possibilities is less desirable?

You learned in the chapter that an STR locus is a locus where alleles differ in the number of copies of a short, tandemly repeated DNA sequence. PCR is used to determine the number of alleles present, as shown by the size of the DNA fragment amplified. In the Figure below are the results of PCR analysis for STR alleles at a locus where the repeat unit length is 9 bp, and alleles are known that have 5 to 11 copies of the repeat. Given the STR alleles present in the adults, state whether each of the four juveniles could or could not be an off-spring of those two adults. Explain your answers.

Homologous Recombination, Heteroduplex DNA, and Mismatch Repair Homologous recombination in E. coli leads to the formation of regions of heteroduplex DNA. By definition, such regions contain mismatched bases. Why doesn’t the mismatch repair system of E. coli eliminate these mismatches?

Define and compare the following types of nucleotide substitutions. Which is likely to cause the most dramatic mutant effect? a. missense mutation b. nonsense mutation c. sense mutation

If the genetic code used 4 bases at a time, how many amino acids could be encoded?
