The pathway shown below is used by a fungus to create Arginine from a precursor starter molecule. A frameshift mutation occurs in the second codon of the gene encoding enzyme 3. This fungus is grown on media that only contains the precursor. Discuss the effects of this mutation on: (i) The function of Enzyme 3 (ii) The amount of arginine in the cell Enzyme 1 Enzyme 2 Enzyme 3 Ornithine Precursor Citrulline Arginine

For the given mutation below,please write down the reverse mutation and any intragenic suppressor mutations for that mutation. Use the codon table for amino acids as reference. In this case, mutation means single letter change. Mutation: AGA -> AGC Arg codons: CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG,AGA,ACG Ser codons: UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU, AGC Character limit is 10 characters. Write down Reverse mutation sequence first and then intragenic suppressor mutation sequence. Write down the mutated sequence not the mutation.
Order the following choices to indicate the sequence of steps in the process of elongation of agrowing peptide chain. a. release of EF1-GDPb. EF2-GTP hydrolysis promotes translocation of the ribosomec. peptidyltransferase reaction catalyzed by large rRNA subunitd. aminoacyl-tRNA binds the ribosomal A site via EF1-GTP hydrolysis
Eukaryotes modify mRNA with an m7G cap: an N7-methylated guanosine linked via a 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage, and by methylation at the 2'-hydroxyl of the penultimate nucleoside. What cofactors involved in the capping reaction
The sequences of DNA bases below represent parts of the genes responsible for the production of one type of protein, an enzyme, produced by Botana curus and Species X, Y, and Z Under each DNA sequence, write the complementary messenger RNA base sequences that each of these gene fragments would produce. Note: Unlike during DNA replication, in the production of messenger RNA, the DNA base “A” specifies the RNA base “U.”. Use the universal genetic code table provided (see Universal Code attachment) to translate the messenger RNA base sequences into sequences of amino acids in the protein produced by each species. Write the sequences of amino acids under the messenger RNA sequences.
In the gene-coding sequence shown here, which of the following events will produce a frameshift after the last mutational site? a. insertion of an A after the first codon b. deletion of the second codon (AAA) c. insertion of TA after the second codon and deletion of CG in the fourth codon d. deletion of AC in the third codon

You have isolated several E. coli mutants: Mutant #1 has a point mutation in the -10 region of the promoter of a structural gene encoding an enzyme needed for synthesis of the amino acid serine. Mutant #2 has a mutation in the -35 region in the promoter of the same gene. Mutant #3 is a double mutant with mutations in both the -10 and -35 region of the promoter of the same gene. Only Mutant #3 is unable to make serine. Why do you think this is so?
