(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of cholesterol feeding on the amount of HMG-CoA reductase mRNA should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule. It is a steroid which is synthesized in all animal cells and is an important component of cell membrane. Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.
(b)
Interpretation:
The purpose isolating actin mRNA must be determined.

(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of cholesterol diet on the HMG CoA reductase protein should be determined.

- True or False. Explain. A) At no time during protein synthesis does an amino acid make direct contact with the mRNA being translated. B) Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.arrow_forwardYes or no only. rna seq can provide sequence and expression data do riboprobes synthesize bu in vitro transcription? does rna causes mutations and lose of function of specific genes?arrow_forwardIn Multi-Column Purification of rGFP.

- Q34. mRNA decay (breakdown) can play an important role in controlling protein abundance. Which of the following scenarios correctly describes a relationship between mRNA decay and protein abundance? A. A decrease in transcription with an increase in the rate of mRNA decay can result in increased protein abundance. B. An increase in transcription with an increase in the rate of mRNA decay can result in no change in protein abundance. C. An increase rate of protein synthesis but failure to form an apoprotein can be explained by a decrease in mRNA decay. D. None of the abovearrow_forwardI am more confused. how about we start from begining, you post answers on here, and then we go from there? 1. Identify the open reading frame in the following DNA sequence, the protein that this gene encodes for, its function, and the source. 2. "Look carefully at the DNA sequence and identify the start site for transcription" 3. Click on the DNA sequence from the start site of transcription, select all of the sequence, and copy the sequence. Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence (gene) you submit. Next click on blastx (translated nucleotide protein). Paste the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll down and click BLAST.
