Concept explainers
To analyze:
Question asked to describe the molecular parameter that causes DNA fragments to have different electrophoretic mobility.
Question asked to describe the parameter that causes different mobilities in mRNA.
Question asked to describe the parameters that cause different mobilities in proteins.
Introduction:
Electrophoresis is an experimental approach for the separation of protein, DNA, and mRNA. The separation can be done on the basis of molecular weight, shape, and charge of protein DNA and mRNA under the electric field. Separation of proteins can be represented by the mathematical equation:
Here,
There are two different types of electrophoresis i.e. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The moment of a molecule depends on the pore size of the gel.

- In eukaryotic cells, the length of the transcribed RNA is almost equal to the corresponding DNA strand. True or false?arrow_forwardThe following DNA sequence is found on a chromosome in rice plants: 5’ ACCTTGCTCACATGTGGCGTACCTTTCCGTCTATCTGAACAC 3’ What is the amino acid sequence of the longest protein that could be made from this stretch of DNA, assuming that this strand of DNA is the non-template strand? (Remember that the start of translation requires the sequence AUG in the mRNA and “STOP” is not an amino acid.)arrow_forwardConsider the following DNA sequence, which codes for a short polypeptide: 5'-ATGGGCTTAGCGTAGGTTAGT-3' Determine the mRNA transcript of this sequence. You have to write these sequences from the 5' end to the 3' end and indicate those ends as shown in the original sequence in order to get the full mark. How many amino acids will make up this polypeptide? Determine the first four anticodons that will be used in order to translate this sequence.arrow_forward
- Why do DNA chips often contain segments derived from cDNA rather than genomic DNA segments?arrow_forwardBelow is the 5’–3’ strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule with the following nucleotide sequences:5’ C C T A T G C A G T G G C C A T A T T C C A A A G C A T A G C 3’1. If the above DNA strand is the coding (sense) strand and the DNA molecule is transcribed, what is the correct nucleotide sequence and direction of the RNA formed after transcription?arrow_forwardComplete the protein synthesis for the partial DNA sequence for a normal FGFR3 gene (TOP) and mutated FGFR3 gene (BOTTOM). Remember, when filling in mRNA, use capital letters only. When filling in amino acids, use three letters, with the first letter capitalized. If you do not use this format, your answer may be marked wrong. DNA CCG TTC GGG GAA ССС MRNA Amino Acid DNA CCG TTC GGG GAA TCC MRNA Amino Acidarrow_forward
- Shown below is an R loop prepared for electron microscopy by annealing a purified eukaryotic messenger RNA with DNA from a genomic clone containing the full-length gene corresponding to the mRNA. (a) How many exons does the gene contain? How many introns? (b) Where in this structure would you expect to find a 5′,5′-internucleotide bond? Where would you expect to find a polyadenylic acid sequence?arrow_forwardHow are deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of daughter DNA strands) and ribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of RNA strand) differ from each other?arrow_forwardAssume 102 nucleotide pairs of DNA to be responsible for transcription of particular mRNA molecule. What is the length of that mRNA in (1) angstrom? (2) in micrometers?arrow_forward
- a) What is a mutation in molecular terms? b) a mutation deletes a base in the genomic DNA discuss how that will affect the reading frame and expression product production. Using the following list of codons describe, using diagrams etc., how information stored in the DNA is translated into a peptide. Be sure to discuss all steps. In other words, use a diagram and give me sequences, transcription and translation steps. Show the sequences of the sense and the other DNA strand, the mRNA and the tRNA’s. UUU -phenylalanine UCU -serine AUG –initiation/methionine CUU -leucine ACU -threonine GUU -valine UAA -Terminationarrow_forwardIn relation to central dogma of molecular biology answer the following questions: The following segment of DNA is part of the transcription unit of a gene. You know already that RNA polymerase moves in a specific direction along this piece of DNA to convert one of the DNA strands into a single strand RNA transcript so that this entire region of DNA is made into RNA. 5′-GGCATGGCAATATTGTAGTA-3′ 3′-CCGTACCGTTATAACATCAT-5′ Given this information, a student claims that the RNA produced from this DNA is: 3′-GGCATGGCAATATTGTAGTA-5′ Give two reasons why this answer is incorrect.arrow_forwardThe central dogma of molecular biology states simply that DNA encodes RNA, and RNA encodes protein. For each of the following processes, describe, 1) where in the cell they occur, 2) one important protein (or protein containing complex) involved 3) the result of this process. DNA replication Where?) Protein?) Result?) Transcription Where?) Protein?) Result?) Splicing Where?) Protein?) Result?) Translation Where?) Protein?) Result?)arrow_forward
