- b) In eukaryotes, the newly synthesized MRNA undergoes modifications before it is transported across the nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm. Outline any two of the three modifications.arrow_forwardIllustrate the process of transcription by providing the correct bases for mRNA strand given the DNA template strand. (Remember that mRNA has uracil instead of thymine.) Template Strand: CGATACAAAarrow_forwardWhat happens when one base pair of DNA is lost from the coding region of a gene because of mutation? First explain how this would affect the mRNA sequence, and second, explain how this would alter the amino acid of the protein that is encoded.arrow_forward
- What strand of mRNA would be synthesized from a template DNA strand with the sequence GATGTTTAC (assume transcription is from left to right)? Indicate clearly the 5' and 3' ends of your transcript. 5'-GAUGUUUAC-3' 5'CUACAAAUG-3' 5'-CAUUUGUAG-3' 5'GUAAACAUC-3arrow_forwardThe first nucleotide in mRNA that will be synthesized from DNA below is: 3'- ACGTATAGCCGGACGTCACTCGCTA-5' 5'-TGCATATCGGCCTGCAGTGAGCGAT-3'arrow_forwardExplain why DNA replication must be primed by RNA. Explain how splicing happens in 4-5 sentences. Splicing is caused by a complex called spliceosome. This complex removes introns and joins the exons. It is called post transcriptional processing of RNA. (What I have so far) If you can only answer the first question, that is fine! Thank you for your help!arrow_forward
- Pick either one of the following to answer: 1) Transcription and translation both involve an initiation, elongation, and termination phase. Describe how each of these phases occurs for both transcription and translation. OR 2) Both transcription and translation involve modifications following the termination step. Describe these modifications and the importance of each modification to complete the final product.arrow_forwardDefine both transcription and translation. In addition, describe the role(s) of each of the following in the processes of gene expression and protein synthesis: DNA, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, ribosome(s), RNA polymerase, codon, anticodon, amino acid(s) and polypeptide(s). Be detailed in your answer.arrow_forwardWhat are the “protein synthesis factories?” Give an overview of the relationship between these “factories” and mRNA to explain why they are called the “protein synthesis factories.arrow_forward
