SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Some mutations result in proteins that function well at one temperature but are nonfunctional at a different (usually higher) temperature. Siamese cats have such a “temperature-sensitive” mutation in a gene encoding an enzyme that makes dark pigment in the fur. The mutation results in the breed's distinctive point markings and lighter body color (see the photo). Using this information and what you learned in the chapter, explain the pattern of the cat’s fur pigmentation.

ou now have an understanding of Genomes, DNA Replication, Transcription, Translation, and Regulation of Genes. How would you reprogram skin cells to create cells which look and behave like brain cells (neurons)?
What would you change/modify to reprogram a skin cell to a neuron?
How would you introduce the change/modification into the skin cells to transform them into neurons?
think about this: if you know the amino acid sequence of a protein can you predict with 100% certainty the DNA sequence of the gene that codes for it? Would knowing the amino acid sequence help you identify the gene?
Suppose you are studying two different mutations in a gene that codes for a protein. In the first, a nonsense mutation occurs near the beginning of the gene. In the second, a nonsense mutation occurs near the end of a gene. Which mutation is more likely to affect the proteins function? Why?

- Exposing Escherichia coli (e.coli) to ionizing radiation results in DNA damage. Say you perform an experiment and expose E. coli to increasing levels of ionizing radiation over time. After 180 minutes, all bacteria cells are found dead. 1. How do levels of LexA change over 180 minutes? Explain what is driving this change? 2. What changes in gene expression would occur over the course of the 180 minutes as a direct result of the changes in LexA levels? Detail how changing levels of LexA lead to such changes in gene expression.arrow_forwardEVOLUTION LINK DNA technology, such as the production of transgenic animals, is possible only because widely different organisms have essentially identical genetic systems (DNA RNA protein).

They discover that the disease protein has the same amino acid sequence as the protein in healthy people. State right or wrong: Does the following explanation provide a plausible biological explanation for the disease state? a.The RNA polymerase does not correctly read the codon code on the mRNA. b.The protein is not being regulated properly. c.The disease protein is incorrectly folded. d. The disease protein lacks a post-translational modification. e.The protein amounts differ because they are expressed differently.arrow_forwardEvidence: Scientists found that the runners in the test who sprinted the slowest had no ACTN3 protein molecules in their bodies.

Procedure: Use the following base sequence of one strand of an imaginary DNA molecule: AATTGAACACATGCGCCC. 2. Write the base sequence for an mRNA strand that would be transcribed from the given DNA sequence. Place your results in the table below. Use your codon table provided below to determine the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein fragment. Place your results in the table below. If the fifth base in the original DNA strand were changed from G to C, how would this affect the resulting protein fragment? Write the new protein fragment in the table below.

Mind you, after three days you measure the S12 protein mutations and they highly increased those three days. what is most likey the antibiotic identity and why?arrow_forwardBeadle and Tatum's experiments led to the "one gene - one enzyme (protein)" hypothesis. In subsequent years, many exceptions to this hypothesis were noted.

The functional hemoglobin protein is made from multiple polypeptides. Not all enzymes are proteins. Not all genes encode proteins.arrow_forwardA genetic researcher notices that individuals with a particular genetic disease have a shortened version of key protein involved in the diseased biochemical pathway.
