Question
Chapter 31, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Experimental strategy for switching off the translation of an mRNA without changing the gene sequence encoding the protein should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA molecule, which transfers genetic information from DNA to the ribosome. The ribosome then read the mRNA chain and produce protein chain, which is termed as the genetic expression. The conversion of DNA to mRNA is termed as transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of the cell. Whereas, the process of gene expression of mRNA to protein (translation) occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

True or False?
Eukaryotic genomes are organized into operons; each operon consists of a series of genes which code for enzymes involved in a metabolic pathway, under the transcriptional control of a single promoter sequence .
True/false? if false, justify brieflyBacterial operons gather open-reading-frames that are coupled for both transcription and translation.
which is not a type of protein modification?
splicing
metjatiom
phosphorylation
ubiquitination
