- A.) There is no change in the DNA sequence if nucleotides are added or removed, it will have no effect to the cell. B.) Mutations in the DNA sequence are all irreversible. A. Statement A is correct B. Statement B is correct C. Both A and B are correct D. Both A and B are incorrectarrow_forwardExplain each optionsarrow_forwardPlease read the scenario below and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. An original DNA sequence reads 3'- GGCGCTAGAATC -5'. A mutated version of that DNA strand is produced that reads 3-GGCTCTAGAATC -5. Based on the information above, how severe of an impact do you believe the mutation would have on the cell (and therefore individual) in which the mutation occurred? O a. Very severe, because the mutation leads to the formation of a truncated polypeptide O b. Moderately to very severe, because the mutation results in the formation of a polypeptide that contains amino acids not found in the unmutated polypeptide O c. Likely not that severe, because the amino acid sequence of the mutated polypeptide is identical to the amino acid sequence of the nonmutated polypeptidearrow_forward
- 1a) Why is it possible for you to study the eye colour gene by extracting cheek cells? a. Because the nucleus of every cell in the human body contains the same genetic information. b. Because the cheek cells are located near the cells of the eye and so they are able to exchange DNA. c. Because all genes in the human body are expressed at all times so it is easy to study them. d. All of the above are possible explanations. 1b) What is the purpose of heating the sample to 75°C following addition of the 0.2M NaOH solution? a. To denature the histone proteins that are keeping the DNA tightly coiled. b. To ensure that all the DNA is removed from the swab in preparation for PCR. c. To breakdown the cheek cell membrane to release the DNA from the cell. d. It breaks down the circular DNA down into linear fragments so that they will be easier to visualize.iarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about coding strands of a gene is false? a. The sequence of the coding strand is complementary to the primary transcript. b. The sequence of the coding strand is complementary to the template strand. c. The coding strand may be on either strand of a given chromosome. d. All of the above are true about the coding strand.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are correct about DNA Repair in mammals (select all that apply)? A. The Mismatch Repair System is primarily responsible for repairing covalent chemical modification of DNA bases B. Over 150 proteins are involved in DNA Repair C. Without DNA repair systems we would all likely die of cancer at a young age. D. Many DNA Repair enzymes are weakly expressed in tissues of the central nervous system making the CNS more susceptible to some carcinogens. E. Cancer cells possess a mutator phenotypearrow_forward
