Describe the process by which the information in eukaryotic gene is transcribed and translated into a protein. Correctly use this words in your description: tRNA, amino acid, start codon, RNA polymerase, ribosome, translation, anticodon, peptide bond, stop codon
Indicate which of the following items are associated with transcription or translation. This could be in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, or both.
Group of answer choices: Translation OR Transcription
Sigma binds to the promoter
mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit
Spliceosomes remove introns and splice together exons
Nucleotides are added from the 5' to 3' end
tRNA anticodon binds to the corresponding mRNA codon
STOP codon results in termination
A segment of mRNA produced by the normal order of DNA nucleotides and the corresponding amino acid chain are given below:
mRNA segment: GCC UAC AAU GCG
Amino acid chain: Ala-Tyr-Asn-Ala
Knowing that insertion mutations shift the triplets by one base, if an insertion mutation adds a U to the beginning of that mRNA segment, what will be the new triplet/codon grouping and the new amino acid chain?
Group of answer choices
a. U GCC UAC AAU GCG; Ala-Tyr-Asn-Ala
b. UCC UAC AAU GCG; Ser-Leu-Gln-Cys

A mutation causing a single-base substitution in a gene can change this codon in the transcribed mRNA into GUA (valine), AUA (isoleucine), CUA (leucine), UGA (stop), UAA (stop), UCA (serine), UUG (leucine), UUC (phenylalanine), or UUU (phenylalanine). According to the neutral theory of evolution, which of these mutations would you expect to be the most likely to be found within a natural population? Explain.arrow_forwardIn cells, proteins are synthesized from a gene sequence via the process of transcription and translation.

- Several different nucleic acids are involved in the process of getting a protein produced from a gene. DNA contains the "genetic code" for the protein. DNA is double-stranded, but only one strand is transcribed into MRNA. The MRNA then goes into the cytoplasm where it is translated into protein with the help of TRNA. At each stage of the process, there is base complementarity (A pairs with T/U and C pairs with G) between the nucleic acids involved to ensure the integrity of the DNA blueprint for the protein being produced. Therefore, some of the four strands of nucleic acids involved will match (except U replaces T in RNA) and some will have base complementarity. Indicate whether there is matching (1) or base complementarity (2) between the following nucleic acids. DNA sense strand and MRNA DNA sense strand and tRNA DNA antisense strand and MRNA MRNA and TRNAarrow_forwardmRNA and tRNA are involved in producing proteins from genes in the DNA. One codon consisting of 3 nucleotides corresponds to an amino acid in the protein that gets built. It is important to understand the relationship between the following nucleic acids: DNA template and mRNA strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA template and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and mRNA strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA template and DNA non-template strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) mRNA and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary)arrow_forwardSelect all TRUE statements related to the process of transcription. More than one answer is possible. The enzyme helicase separates the complimentary base pairs that hold double-stranded DNA together. MRNA is formed by joining ribonucleotides that pair with the template strand of DNA MRNA is formed by joining ribonucleotides that pair with the coding strand of DNA exons are removed from MRNA. Okazaki fragments form on the lagging strand. introns are removed from mRNA. The enzyme DNA gyrase encompasses both strands of DNA and uncoils the helix of double-stranded DNA. transcription is the process by which MRNA codons are translated to proteins. MRNA formed will be complimentary to the coding strand. DNA is unwound to expose the targeted genearrow_forward
- At least three types of RNA are required for protein synthesis. Compare and contrast mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA by moving the descriptions of their structure and function to the appropriate categories. Some phrases may describe all three types of RNA. mRNA in eukaryotes, can exist outside the nucleus acts as an enzyme for peptide synthesis composed of ribonucleic acid rRNA Answer Bank moves amino acids to the site of protein synthesis tRNA contains nucleotide triplets that code for specific amino acids has a convoluted structure with a three-base sequence called an anticodon moves genetic information out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm mRNA, rRNA, and tRNAarrow_forwardTranscribe the following DNA strand into mRNA and translate that strand into a polypeptide chain, identifying the codons, anticodons, and amino acid sequence.
