4e. You also study the expression of 3 different mutants for this gene. For each mutant answer the
following:
Does this mutation change the sequence of the protein produced? Why or why not?
If it does change the sequence of protein be sure to write out the new sequence.
If it does not change the protein sequence, what effect (if any) would you expect it
to have on expression of the gene?

i. Mutant A has a single base pair substitution with the T/A being replaced with C/G base pair at
position 35 (position denoted by the * in the sequence above).
ii. Mutant B has a 2 G/C pairs inserted between position 19 and 20 (position denoted by the ^ in
the sequence above).
. What is an enhanceosome? Why could a mutation in anyone of the enhanceosome proteins severely reduce thetranscription rate?

The nuclear membrane disintegrates late in prophase of mitosis in most eukaryotic cells. Once the membrane is reformed in telophase in a daughter cell, several components of gene expression might therefore be “caught” out in the cytoplasm when they would otherwise only ever be found inside the nucleus. Consider where the following components of gene expression are made and where they function. Which component is normally never found in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus? spliced intron RNA polymerase snRNA DNA polymerase A. 1, 2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1, 2, 3 & 4 are correctarrow_forward. Early in development, most human cells turn off expression of an essential component of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for addition of telomere repeat sequences (5’-TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes. Thus, as our cells proliferate their telomeres get shorter and shorter, but are normally not lost over the course of a lifetime. If cells are removed from the body and grown in culture, however they ultimately enter a state of replicative senescence and stop dividing when their telomeres get too short. By contrast, most human tumor cells express active telomerase, allowing them to maintain their telomeres and grow beyond the normal limit imposed by senescence - good for them, bad for us. Anticipating a universal cure for cancer, you set up a company to screen chemical ‘libraries’ for telomerase inhibitors. The company share price takes a dive, however, when a rival group generates a strain of telomerase-knockout mice. These mice breed happily for several generations, but…arrow_forward
- How does position effect influence gene expression? 1 | The movement of the genetic material on the chromosome by inversions or translocations may place a coding sequence near a new regulatory region, thus activating the expression of the gene. The movement of the gene may place it into a region that is highly condensed (heterochromatin). The movement of a gene may remove it from its normal promoter, thus silencing the gene. O All of the above answers are correctarrow_forward5.
