- A mutant DNA strand was transcribed then translated to proteins. a. What is the protein product of the mutant DNA strand? The sequence of the mutant strand is shown below: 5'-TGCCATAACTGTTCGTACTGGCAAATTGCC-3' 3'-ACGGTATTGACAAGCATGACCGTTTAACGG-5' b. The mutation altered the sequence of the wild type template DNA such that a degenerate codon for a basic amino acid in the wild type was converted to a non-degenerate codon resulting in the sequence for the mutant strand shown. What was the original amino acid? c. Compare the charges and pl of the mutant peptide and the normal (wild- type) peptide at physiological pH?arrow_forwardMatch the activity below with the correct enzyme. (You won't use all the enzymes listed.) RNA acts as a template for DNA synthesis: RNA directs the cutting of an RNA molecule at a precise location: RNA directs the cutting of an DNA molecule at a precise location: options: a. Small Nuclear Ribonuclear Protein (SNRNP) b. telomerase c. primase d. helicase e. CRISPR/Cas9arrow_forwardCertain restriction endonucleases produce cohesive (sticky) ends. This means that they: a. stick tightly to the ends of the DNA they have cut. b. cut both DNA strands at the same base pair. c. make a staggered double-strand cut, leaving ends with a few nucleotides of single-stranded DNA protruding. d. cut in regions of high GC content, leaving ends that can form more hydrogen bonds than ends of high AT content. e. cut in regions of high AT content, leaving ends that can form more hydrogen bonds than ends of high GC content.arrow_forward

Select one: a. Northern blot b. Both Northern and Western blots c. Agarose gel with polyacrylamide d. Western blot e. Protein gel and northern blotarrow_forwardYou are performing a PCR reaction but unbeknownst to you, there is a significant pool of dUTP in the nucleotide mix (along with dCTP, dTTP, dATP, and dGTP). How might this affect your PCR product? a. If the PCR product was ligated into a plasmid and put into a cell, a totally different mRNA would be made from the insert compared to an insert made with T's. b. If the pool of dTTP ran out before the pool of dUTP, DNA replication could no longer occur. c. During the reaction, uracils incorporated into the product would cause the PCR product to degrade as it is being made. d. Uracil would be incorporated into the product and would lessen the affinity of any DNA binding proteins that might bind to the product in subsequent experiments. e. Nothing would happen since polymerases can't use dUTP to make DNA.arrow_forward
