Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 4S
There are a number of features that are unique 10 bacteria, and others that are unique to eukaryotes. Could any of these features offer the possibility to control gene expression in a way that is unique to either eukaryotes or bacteria?

Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the process of gene expression in Bacteria versus eukaryotes. Remember that “gene expression” can include any part of transcription or translation. Try to be as thorough as you can about what aspects of this process are similar between the two taxa, and what characteristics are distinct to only Bacteria or eukaryotes. Plase include a minimum of 15 items in the Venn diagram.
Certain mutations called amber in bacteria and viruses result in premature termination of polypeptide chains during translation. Many amber mutationshave been detected at different points along the gene thatcodes for a head protein in phage T4. How might this system be further investigated to demonstrate and support the concept ofcolinearity?
i)Describe attenuation control and how it is used to regulate gene expression.
ii)Give a specific example of how this works?
iii)Could this be used in eukaryotes? why ?or why not?

(b) Discuss the different mechanisms used in each of these levels.arrow_forwardAlmost all cells within an animal contain DNA with the same sequence, yet different cells can have very different properties and gene expression patterns. What are the primary mechanisms that facilitate the existence of distinct cell types in eukaryotes?arrow_forwardThe following is a difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic gene regulation: O Only prokaryotes have operons O Only eukaryotes can regulate genes by altering chromatin structure O Only prokaryotes can have coordinated expression of several genes O Only eukaryotes have proteins that act as activators of transcriptionarrow_forward
- how would alterning patterns of gene expression in prokaryotes would most likely serve an organism's survival? In a single point mutation, when the RNA and amino acid changes it is called ? what is the DNA sequence called?: 3”TTC ATT TAC TTT CGT TCA TAT TGT ACG ACT CGG TTA5”arrow_forwardWhy is it easier to identify spontaneous mutations in bacteria than in most eukaryotes? The mutations occur at a much higher frequency. Because bacteria have smaller genomes. The mutations can be induced via exposure to the bacteriophage. The mutations are expressed directly in descendant cells because bacteria are haploid. The mutations are visible as color changes within a bacterial colony.arrow_forwardProvide a detailed description of gene expression and control in prokaryotes.

- Some bacteria might be able to respond to environmental stress by increasing the rate at which mutations occur during cell division. How might this be accomplished?
