- In eukaryotes there is not a consistent relationship between the length of the coding sequence of a gene and the length of the mature mRNA it encodes, even though one nucleotide in DNA = one nucleotide in pre-mRNA or primary transcript. Explain why this is so.arrow_forwardIntrons are often very large and the cell has devoted mechanisms of eliminating them once they are excised from the pre-mRNA. Following intron excision, what specific ribonucleolytic enzymes or complexes contribute to eliminating the intron RNA immediately after it is excised from the pre-mRNA? Briefly describe the role of each step/enzyme and how it affects its RNA substratearrow_forwardA eukaryotic mRNA has 703 total nucleotides. 50 of these are the 5'UTR and 50 of these are the 3'UTR. How many amino acids are in the protein encoded by this mRNA?Question 26 options: A) 199 B) 200 C) 201 D) 300 E) 700arrow_forward
- Before the Genetic Code was solved, scientists predicted that mRNA codons would need to be a minimum of three bases long (ex. AAA, not AA or A) to code for a single amino acid. What was the reason they predicted this?arrow_forwardAlthough the genetic code is universal, a few organisms such as Paramecium have a slightly modified version in which UGA, a stop codon for most organisms, codes for tryptophan in Paramecium. Suppose that the researcher wanted to make an in vitro translation system using all of the components from Paramecium. Which of the components, if any, would she need to replace in order to have an in vitro system that was universal? Possible Answers: A. She would need to leave out the P site. B. She would need to leave out the termination factor proteins. C. She would need to leave out the tRNA that recognizes UGA. D. She would need to leave out the ubiquitinarrow_forward
