Textbook Question
Chapter 17.5, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? DRAW IT → The template strand of a gene includes this sequence:
3'-TACTIGTCCGATATC-5'. It is mutated to 3'-TACTIGTCCAATATC-5'. For both wild-type and mutant sequences, draw the double-stranded DNA, the resulting mRNA, and the amino acid sequence each encodes. What is the effect of the mutation on the amino acid sequence?

HELP PLEASE !!
In moelcular genetics, initiation is often accomplished using proteins that prevent elongation. Name and describe 3 processes where this happens, they can be in different species. Make sure to name or describe the proteins and substrates involved and how the elongation inhibition is overcome.
How many sites? A researcher has isolated a restriction endonuclease that cleaves at only one particular 10-base-pair site. Would this enzyme be useful in protecting cells from viral infections, given that a typical viral genome is 50,000 base pairs long? Explain
. The genetic code is thought to have evolved to maximize genetic stability
by minimizing the effect on protein function of most substitution muta-
tions (single-base changes). We will use the six arginine codons to test this
idea. Consider all of the substitutions that could affect all of the six arginine
codons.
(a) How many total mutations are possible?
(b) How many of these mutations are "silent," in the sense that the mutant
codon is changed to another Arg codon?
(c) How many of these mutations are conservative, in the sense that an Arg
codon is changed to a functionally similar Lys codon?
