Question
Chapter 30, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The amino acids those are most likely to be incorporated by nonsense suppressor mutants should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The genetic code comprises of 64 or 43 dissimilar options for codons. Three of these combination accounts to stop codons and 61 of these codes for a precise tRNA carrying a precise amino acid.

Met-enkephalin (Tyr–Gly–Gly–Phe–Met) is a painkiller and sedative (Section 21.5). What is a possible nucleotide sequence in the template strand of the gene that codes for met-enkephalin, assuming that every base of the gene is transcribed and then translated?
2) Myoclonal epilepsy and ragged red fiber disease (MERRF) is a human condition named for the ragged red fibers of skeletal muscle cells and myoclinic epilepsy in affected individuals. People with this disorder have a mutation in a mitochondrial gene for a tRNA, specifically that for lysine. Why are affected individuals are always heteroplasmic?

- 2a) In prokaryotes, a small ribosomal subunit can potentially get on an mRNA anywhere it can find enough space to do so. Once a small ribosomal subunit has bound to an mRNA, it will scan along that mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction looking for a start codon at which to initiate translation. How does the small ribosomal subunit distinguish a start codon from any other AUG codon that simply codes for methionine in the middle of a coding sequence?arrow_forwardAlternative Splicing Possibilities Suppose exon 17 were deleted from the fast skeletal muscle troponin T gene (Figure 29.46). How many different mRNAs could now be generated by alternative splicing? Suppose that exon 7 in a wild-type troponin T gene were duplicated. How many different mRNAs might be generated from a transcript of this new gene by alternative splicing?arrow_forward2) Myoclonal epilepsy and ragged red fiber disease (MERRF) is a human condition named for the ragged red fibers of skeletal muscle cells and myoclinic epilepsy in affected individuals.

- (a) Write a possible sequence for an mRNA segment coding for apamine.(b) Do you think apamine is synthesized in the form, or is it more likely a product of proteolytic cleavage of a larger peptide? Explain.arrow_forwardThe genetic code is thought to have evolved to maximize genetic stability by minimizing the effect on protein function of most substitution mutations (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 mutantcodon is changed to another Arg codon?(c) How many of these mutations are conservative, in the sense that an Argcodon is changed to a functionally similar Lys codon?arrow_forwardGood afternoon, Guidance with this question would be most appriciated.
