Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
The translation can begin even before the mRNA transcription is completed in the bacteria. Why this does not occur in eukaryotes.
Introduction:
Translation is a process where the genetic information carried out by the messenger RNA is converted into the specific amino acid sequence. The sequential amino acids together form the polypeptide chains of proteins.

- Why can translation in prokaryotes begin before transcription ends?arrow_forwardTranscription is the first step in gene expression. It involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. It is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template). Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. What is the difference between Rho Dependent and Rho Independent termination in prokaryotes?arrow_forwardResearchers are studying the mechanism of the antibiotic chloramphenicol. They know that it prevents the formation of peptide bonds during translation. A model of the translation process is shown in the diagram. Which of the following describes where in the model chloramphenicol acts to interfere with the production of proteins from DNA? during initiation during elongation during termination during protein releasearrow_forward
- Which statement is false: A) Each type of protein ( ex: hemoglobin vs trypsionngen) varies in the length and amino acid sequence of its peptide B) After the rpocess of transcription is complete, the mRNA that is produced will continue being tranlsated by ribosomes for the rest of the cells life. mRNA never breaks down C) A ribosome will bind to an mRNA and will translate the sequence by reading one codon at a time and adding one amino acid to the peptide chain. It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protienarrow_forwardIn EUKARYOTIC translation, how does initiation of translation occur? a) What components of the mature mRNA are involved (2 components) and b) what proteins are involved (at least 2 proteins)?arrow_forwardThe following mRNA transcript would result in which polypeptide sequence? 5'-ACU UUC ACU AUG UUU UUA UCC UCC ACU CCU UGA-3' Use the following codons and the amino acids they encode: AUG = Start or Met; UUU, UUC = Phe; UUA, UUG = Leu; UCU, UCC = Ser; CCU, CCC = Pro; ACU, ACC = Thr; UGA = Stop.

- In bacterial genes, as soon as any partial mRNA transcript is produced by the RNA polymerase system, the ribosome assembles on it and starts translating. Draw a diagram of this process, identifying 5′ and 3′ ends of mRNA, the COOH and NH2 ends of the protein, the RNA polymerase, and at least one ribosome. Why couldn’t this system work in eukaryotes?arrow_forwardResearchers are studying the mechanism of the antibiotic chloramphenicol. They know that it prevents the formation of peptide bonds during translation. A model of the translation process is shown in the diagram. Which of the following describes where in the model chloramphenicol acts to interfere with the production of proteins from DNA? A - during initiationB - during elongationC = during terminationD = during protein releasearrow_forwardFor translation of eukaryotic mRNA sequences: a) The stop codon stops translation by blocking the ribosome. b) The tRNA is the same thing as the amino acid. c) There are two binding pockets within the ribosome where different tRNAs will bind to the mRNA. d) The first codon that is recognized by the ribosome is UAG e) The ribosome can bind to the mRNA in any location.arrow_forward

True or false? c)The termination of translation is carried out by a single tRNA molecule that recognizes all three stop codons. True or false? d) The deamination of cytosine, which produces uracil, is less likely to be repaired, compared to the deamination of 5-methylcytosine, which produces thymine.True or false? e)An HLH-bHLH heterodimer can bind DNA. True or false? F)Chromatin remodeling complexes posseses ATPase activity. True or false? g)Histone methylation generally causes gene inactivation.
