Help!!!! QUESTION 5What is an advantage of a degenerate genetic code?O Mutations are less likely to alter protein sequence, decreasing the chances that a mutation will have deleterious consequences to theorganism.O Mutations are more likely to alter proteins, increasing the rate of evolution.It increases the number of possible proteins that can be coded by each gene.All of the above

Ans.5 Multiple codons that code for the same amino acid exist due to the genetic code's…

Question 1 In a hypothetical scenario, you wake up one morning to your roommate exclaiming about her sudden hair growth. She has been supplementing her diet with a strange new fungus purchased at the local farmer’s market. You take samples of the fungus to your lab and you find that this fungus does indeed make a protein (the harE protein) that stimulates hair growth. You construct a fungal genomic DNA library in E. Coli with the hope of cloning the harE gene. If you succeed you will be a billionaire! You obtain DNA from the fungus, digest it with a restriction enzyme, and clone it into a vector. a) What features must be present on your plasmid that will allow you to use this as a cloning vector to make fungal genomic DNA

Question 12 What is the purpose of the inverted repeats at the ends of DNA-based transposons? A. The inverted repeats are recognized by restriction enzymes that cut out the transposon B. The inverted repeats are magnets for nucleases C. The inverted repeats are the sites of transfer on the target RNA D. The inverted repeats are recognized and cut by transposase to move the transposon from its original location
Question 15 How did you select and grow a streptomycin resistant strain of bacteria in this experiment? 1. A sample of bacteria was exposed to streptomycin by inoculating it onto a streptomycin negative plate. Colonies that grew carried a mutation for resistance 2. A colony of bacteria was with streptomycin so that the antibiotic could alter then genetic composition of the bacteria . 3. A sample of bacteria was exposed to streptomycin by inoculating it onto a streptomycin positive plate. Colonies that grew carried a mutation for resistance
