WHAT IF? Suppose the mRNA being degraded in Figure18.14 coded for a protein that promotes cell division ina multicellular organism. What would happen if a mutation disabled the gene for the miRNA that triggers thisdegradation?
WHAT IF? In eukaryotic cells, mRNAs have been foundto have a circular arrangement in which proteins holdthe poly-A tail near the 5¿ cap. How might this increasetranslation efficiency?
Finish the translation story: - fully explain the G factor stories for each step – and the antibioticthat inhibits it.o how is the next aa brought into the A site of the ribosome and how is it chosen to be thecorrect one. How does streptomycin impact this?o How does the ribosome connect the growing chain of aa to the next one in the A site?How does chloramphenicol impact this?o How does the ribosome step to the next codon? How does spectinomycin impact this?
