The chemical bisulfite transforms cytosine (C) to uracil (U) (U). In DMSO, bisulfite is dissolved. Bisulfite was treated ribosomes. The bisulfite was subsequently removed, and the amount of protein produced was determined using a translation assay. Why do you think we need a DMSO treated control group instead of a group not treated with anything?

Based on the electron micrograph shown, which of the following statements is/are correct/true? Select all that apply. You may select mutiple options. DNA and mRNAs are marked by arrows. DNA mRNAs #3 Left Right 1 μm You cannot determine relative mRNA lengths from this image You cannot determine the direction of transcription from this image the longest mRNA is on the right side ✔Direction of transcription is left to right O Direction of transcription is right to left the 5' end of the mRNA marked #3 is at the bottom O the longest mRNA is on the left side the 5' end of the mRNA marked #3 is at the top You cannot determine the 5' or 3' mRNA ends from this image

A novel, RNA-containing splicing factor is purified on the basis of its physical interaction with a previously known subunit of the spliceosome. You sequence the RNA within the new factor, and identify a region that is perfectly complementary to a stretch of the RNA from the previously known subunit with which it interacts. You suspect that the interaction between the new factor and the subunit is mediated by hybridization between these complementary RNA sequences, but would like to be sure. How could you test this experimentally?

Using the transcription unit diagrammed below, in which exons are represented by blue boxes and introns are represented by the connecting lines.  You discover a single base deletion in region E of this DNA sequence. Regarding transcription, this mutation will likely: 1.) Result in an alteration to the mRNA sequence. 2.)Have no effect on transcription or the mRNA sequence 3.)Prevent transcription at the TATAA box 4.) Result in an increase or decrease in the amount of mRNA transcribed

Although 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 ubiquitin

Explain what is meant by the coupling of transcription and translation in bacteria. Does coupling occur in bacterial and/or eukaryotic cells? Explain.

A synthetic mRNA added to a cell-free protein-synthesizing system produces a peptide with the following amino acid sequence: Met-ProIle-Ser-Ala. What would be the effect on translation if the following component were omitted from the cell-free protein-synthesizing system? What, if any, type of protein would be produced? Explain your reasoning. Q.Release factors RF-1, RF-2, and RF-3
