Immortality of Stem cells is supported by the expression of telomerase that can extend the telomere
sequence. However, one daughter cell created by division of stem cells will not be immortal due to lack of
telomerase expression. What difference will you expect in regulation of the telomerase coding gene
between the two daughter cells produced by cell division of stem cells? How might the cells be different
in terms of chromatin structure at that loci?

- The pre-mRNA transcript and protein made by several mutant genes were examined. The results are given below. Determine where in the gene a likely mutation lies: the promoter region, exon, intron, cap on mRNA, or ribosome binding site. a. normal-length transcript, normal-length nonfunctional protein b. normal-length transcript, no protein made c. normal-length transcript, normal-length mRNA, short nonfunctional protein d. normal-length transcript, longer mRNA, shorter nonfunctional protein e. transcript never madearrow_forwardWhat could be a probable fate of the segment of the DNA strand encircled in red? Polypeptides can now be translated from the encircled region as the two antiparrallel strands separate. The encircled DNA region can now be used as a template for transcription. it will relax right away on its own so that helicase can separate the two complementary strands with much ease If the encircled region will not be relaxed by another enzyme, it will experience supercoiling and will most likely break.arrow_forwardAs described in Table, what is the difference between a rapidstop and a slow-stop mutant? What are different roles of the proteins that are defective in rapid-stop and slow-stop mutants?arrow_forward
- DNA polymerases are capable of editing and error correction, meaning it is able to edit and correct single base error so that the gene is not affected. However, RNA polymerase has a limited capacity for error correction. Given that a single base error in either replication or transcription can lead to error in protein synthesis, suggest a brief explanation for this difference in the capability of error correction between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase.arrow_forwardYou isolate a mouse Tau-gene-containing DNA fragment from the chicken and hybridize it to the freshly-made and isolated hnRNA (primary transcript) from the nucleus of the mouse cells transcribed from the Tau gene (immediately after it was produced), allowing no time for processing of the hnRNA. Describe what you see when you look at the DNA/RNA hybrid molecule under the electron microscope.arrow_forwardProvide the type of cis acting sequence element or segmentsarrow_forward
- Briefly discuss (referring to the images provided) why mutant 2 fails to produce functional protein. Note that none of the mRNA transcribed from this gene is of the expected size; some of the mRNA molecules produced are 223 nucleotides shorter than expected, whilst others are 47 nucleotides longer than expected.arrow_forwardTransforming an Animal In order to create the transgenic cow, your lab first needs to create a DNA vector containing the insulin gene. This step involves a considerable amount of scientific terminology. Make sure you understand the meaning of key terms. Match the following terms with their correct definitions. | ampicillin resistance gene 5 restriction site 6 Origin of replication 7 Ligase 2 promoter 3 Xhol Ч ехоn is a region of DNA that is not transcribed. is the location in the plasmid that is recognized by the restriction enzyme Xhol. is an enzyme that joins DNA fragments together. is the location on the plasmid where DNA replication begins. is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a gene. is an restriction enzyme that looks for the sequence TCGA. is a gene that enables you to identify bacterial cells that have taken up the plasmid.arrow_forwardA pyrimidine dimer which is a bulky lesion has mutated an E. coli cell's DNA.

- Given the following double-stranded fragment of DNA: 5'- ACTTGGCAGGCCTTCGATCC-3' 3'- TGAАССGTCСGGAAGCTAGG-5' A hypothetical restriction endonuclease recognizes a 6bp sequence with two-fold symmetry (typical for restriction enzymes) found in this fragment and catalyzes cleavage of this DNA on both strands between GG nucleotides within the recognition sequence. This nuclease exhibits b-type cleavage (atypical for restriction enzymes). Draw the double-stranded sequence of each fragment after cleavage showing any phosphates left on the ends.arrow_forwardThe E coli cell contains 107 non-specific DNA binding sites for R, 10 R molecules, and 1 Operator. And the mechanism of specific binding of R to O works well with these concentrations. Would it work if R = 1? Explain with a calculation.arrow_forwardHow do you think that transcription randomizes positions of nucleosomes and repression restores the ordering after transcription? How might you test to see if there was an exchange of histone subunits during transcription or if the nucleosome is truly transferred as a single unit? Would you expect the DNA band representing the distance from the restriction enzyme site to the hypersensitive site to be a single band or a smear? Defend your answer.arrow_forward
