Concept explainers
Refer to the figure to answer these questions:
a. Add labels for mRNA (including the 5' and 3' ends) and tRNA. In addition, draw in the RNA polymerase enzyme and the ribosomes, including arrows indicating the direction of movement for each.
b. What are the next three amino acids to be added to polypeptide b?
c. Fill in the
d. What is the sequence of the DNA complementary to the template strand (as much as can be determined from the figure)?
e. Does this figure show the entire polypeptide that this gene encodes? How can you tell?
f. What might happen to polypeptide b after its re lease from the ribosome?
g. Does this figure depict a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell? How can you tell?

- Please consider the figure below. a. Give the name of the process illustrated in the figure. b. If this is part of the elongation stage, explain what is going to happen next. Use the labels, A, B, C and/or D to answer the question. C. What terminus of the protein is represented by the amino acid represented by label D?arrow_forwardUse the pre-mRNA sequence shown below to answer the following questions. MRNA: 5'ACUGGACAGGUAAGAAUACAACACAGUCGGCACCACG 3' a. Underline the 5' and 3' splice sites, then write the sequence of the spliced mRNA in the space provided. b. Predict what would happen if the G in the 5' splice site were mutated to a C. c. We learned in this topic that the 5' cap in an mRNA plays a role in translation initiation. What do you think is one plausible mechanism by which a 5' cap can enhance initiation ? How can you experimentally demonstrate that a 5' cap is important for this process ?arrow_forwardWhich sequences are spliced out of the mRNA strand before leaving the nucleus? In other words, which sequences are not part of the code for the amino acids? a. exons b. intronsarrow_forward
- A particular tRNA is mutated so that the amino acid attachment cannot bind with the aminoacyl-tRNA synthase. What happens when an mRNA transcript contains the codon for this tRNA? A. The tRNA will not bind to this codon. B. Translation stops and the protein is released. C The wrong tRNA is added to the protein chain. D. Translation stops and the protein remains bound to the ribosome.arrow_forwardFor each of the following, identify the type of RNA involved (mRNA, rRNA, or tRNA). a. Transports the correct amino acid to the ribosome, using the information encoded in the mRNA. b. Is a major component of ribosomes. c. Specifies the order of amino acids in a protein, using a series of three-base codons, where different amino acids are specified by particular codons. d. Contains a three-base anticodon that pairs with a complementary codon revealed in the mRNA. e. Assists in making the bonds that link amino acids together to make a protein.arrow_forwardThe following is a template strand of DNA: 3' - ATAGCGTACAAGTGGATT - 5'. What mRNA would be produced from transcribing this DNA template strand? a. 5' - TATCGCATGTTCACCTAA - 3' O b.5' - UAUCGCAUGUUCACCUAA - 3' c. 5' - AUGUUCACCUAA - 3' d. 5' - UTGTTCUCCTUU - 3' e. 5' - AAUCCACUUGUACGCUAU - 3' QUESTION 37 The following is a template strand of DNA: 3' - ATAGCGTACAAGTGGATT - 5'.

- Select the description of an intron. (If possible, please explain why it is that answer) a.) sequence of adenine nucleotides added onto the end of pre‑mRNA b.) modified form of a guanine nucleotide added onto the end of pre‑mRNA c.) coding portion of a DNA sequence that is present in mature mRNA d.) noncoding portion of a DNA sequence that is removed from pre‑mRNAarrow_forwardGiven the following DNA strand: TACAGAGATAACCGAATT A. Write the corresponding strand that would form the other half of the DNA molecule. B. Transcribe the original DNA strand (TACAGAGATAACCGAATT) and write the sequence of bases found in the resulting messenger RNA molecule. C. Translate your messenger RNA molecule and write the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein (the genetic code is provided below).arrow_forwardSickle cell anemia is a disease caused by a mutation at the genotypic level. A person with two copies of the gene has the disease, but a person with one copy of the gene does not have the disease. The diagram shows how this mutation affects an organism. Use the image to answer the question. Which conclusion can you draw based on the diagram? A. The mutation changed the amino acid sequence during the translation step. B. A mutation caused the information in DNA to change during the transcription step. C. A change in the DNA sequence can be carried over to the translation and transcription steps. D. The change that affected the translation and transcription steps does not affect the organism.arrow_forward
