A person’s 5’ capping machinery has failed, but the PolyA tail machinery is still working. Pretending that they actually survive this issue, which of the following is a possible consequence? The person acquires many somatic mutations. The person has higher than normal levels of mRNA in the nucleus. The person has dTTP bases in the mRNA instead of UTP. The person develops a fever and body aches. If not higher than normal levels of mRNA in the nucleus, would it be fever and body aches due to the immune system being launched because mRNA cannot recognize self?

Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in areas of the body, including the lungs. Scientists are studying CFTR, the gene associated with cystic fibrosis in humans. In the majority of cystic fibrosis patients, the same mutation is seen in the same location on the CFTR geně. A partial DNA sequence, a partial MRNA transcript, and part of the normal polypetide that the makes up the CFTR protein that the CFTR gene codes for are shown in the diagram below. DNA 3 MRNA 5 AUC Polypeptide A partial DNA sequence, a partial MRNA transcript, and part of the CFTR polypeptide in a cystic fibrosis patient are shown in the diagram below. DNA 3 CACAA MRNA 5 Polypeptide Gly A Describe the change in the DNA sequence, the effect on the MRNA, and the effect on the polypeptide. B. Is this a "true" frameshift mutation? Why or why not? C. Would a single base insertion at the beginning of the gene have a larger or smaller effect on the resulting polypeptide…
Which of the following is likely associated with the mRNA processing step of alternative splicing? 1. A gene is discovered to encode for two different proteins one protein has 46 amino acids and the other protein has 86 amino acid 2. A gene has 7 exons. one processed mRNA transcript from this gene contains exons 3, 4, 6 and 7. a second process mRNA transcript from this gene contains exons 2, 3, 5, and 7 3. The open reading frame of a gene contains 90 nucleotides but the translated polypeptide contains only 29 amino acids 4. Complexity of the transcrptome ( # of different mRNA molecules) increases
