Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The possible RNA molecules from the given human DNA.
Introduction: DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid can be defined as a molecule consisting of all the genetic information. It is comprised of two chains which coil to form a double helix structure.
(b)
To explain: The translation of only one out of two RNA molecules.
Introduction: In the process of translation, the synthesis of proteins occurs with the help of ribosomes or endoplasmic reticulum. The translation process has three phases which include initiation, elongation, and termination.
(c)
To determine: The amino acid sequence for vasopressin if the RNA molecule that can be translated is mRNA for hormone vasopressin.
Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.
(d)
To explain: The vasopressin in its active form is nonapeptide with cysteine at the N-terminus.
Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.
(e)
To determine: The way to change DNA that encodes vasopressin to encode for oxytocin and also suggest the evolutionary relationship between genes for vasopressin and oxytocin or not.
Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.

- Exploring the Structure of the 30S Ribosomal Subunit Go to www.pdh.org and bring up PDB file 1GIX, which shows the 30S ribosomal subunit, the three tRNAs, and mRNA. In the box on the right titled ‘Biological Assembly.� click “More Images.� and then scroll down to look at the Interactive Vic By moving your cursor over the image, you can rotate it to view it from any perspective. a. How are the ribosomal proteins represented in the image? b. How is the 16S rRNA portrayed? c. Rotate the image to see how the tRNAs stick out from the structure. Which end of the tRNA is sticking out? d. Where will these ends of the tRNAs lie when the 50S subunit binds to this complex?arrow_forwardBinding of --------- identifies the decoding center of the ribosome.arrow_forwardThe possibility of a single locus in a DNA to code for different mRNAs.
