Your friend has discovered that the same human promoter is responsible for producing two different proteins. In Kidney cells it is responsible for the production of protein A while in Brain cells it is responsible for the production of Protein B. Your friend has concluded that this promoter must be controlling two different genes. Do you agree or disagree with your friend's conclusion? Explain why or why not. Be sure to describe the molecular events to support your answer.

Rsearcher has discovered that one human promoter is responsible for producing two different proteins (Protein K and Protein B) from the same gene. In Kidney cells it is responsible for the production of Protein K, while in Brain cells it is responsible for the production of Protein B. How are these different proteins being produced from the same gene? Describe the mechanism
When a region of DNA that contains the genetic information for a protein is isolated from a bacterial cell and inserted into a eukaryotic cell in a proper position between a promoter and a terminator, the resulting cell usually produces the correct protein. But when the experiment is done in the reverse direction (eukaryotic DNA into a bacterial cell), the correct protein is often not produced. Can you suggest an explanation?
A researchist has found that 1 human promoter is responsible for producing 2various proteins (Protein K & Protein B) from the same gene. In Kidney cells it is responsible for the production of Protein K, while in Brain cells it is responsible for the production of Protein B. How are these different proteins being produced from the same gene? Please describe the mechanism to support the answer.
When the human genome sequence was finally completed, scientists were surprised to discover that the genome contains far fewer genes than expected. How many genes are present in the human genome? Scientists have also found that there are many more different kinds of proteins in human cells than there are different genes in the genome. How can this be explained?
How might a point mutation in DNA affect the phenotype. How the genome is expressed in the organism? (Please explain this at the molecular level).
A genon wide analyst of human genome indicated that approximately 1500 genes encoded transcription factors that are important for sequence specific gene expression. based on this information approximately what percentage of the protein coding genes in human belong to the transcription factors? A. 15% B. 5% C. 7.5% D.1.5%
Sickle cell disease is caused by a substitution in the beta globin gene. As a result, one amino acid is different in the mutant protein. Which of the following region is likely to be affected in the sickle cell allele? A. The promoter region B. The 5' UTR region C. The coding region D. The 3' UTR
Because genetic engineering involves the modification of an organism's set of instructions, it has created a dilemma raising both moral and ethical concerns. For instance, a biotechnological company has found a way to produce rice that is immune to pests and diseases, which is vital for the establishment of food security. However, the methods that will be implemented are by splicing off the genes of endangered pandas using invasive procedures that may harm their population. Will you support this? Why or why not? Limit your answers to 5 sentences or less. Be brief and concise.
A certain Drosophila protein-encoding gene has one intron. If a large sample of null alleles of this gene is examined, will any of the mutant sites be expecteda. in the exons?b. in the intron?c. in the promoter?d. in the intron–exon boundary?
A biology professor at a prestigious university stated to his introductory class that "Today, a basic understanding of DNA and genetics is as important as a basic understanding of computers and the internet."Based upon what you have learned about DNA and gene expression in this module, how could you make a case to support this statement?
You may have left high school thinking that the definition of a gene is: "a sequence of DNA that codes for a protein.” But that is not quite correct If that was in fact the only sequence of DNA that was transcribed, which of the following would not exist? 1. snRNA 2. ribosomes 3. tRNA 4. mRNA A. 1, 2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct
The functions of almost all of the genes in the lambda genome were first explored using mutations. What do you think the mutant phenotype would be if you made an inactivating mutation in the c gene, and why? Be very specific but also very brief.
