Chapter 12.4, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The result which Nirenberg and Leder would have found out for the triplets AUG, UAA, UAG and UGA.
Introduction: In the Nirenberg and Leder experiment, the triples were found to have the special characteristics of causing the tRNA molecule to bind to a ribosome. The two scientists, Nirenberg and Leder discovered the concept of triplets in the mRNA molecules. The triplet is the RNA molecules containing the set of three

The human genome contains approximately 106 copies of an Alusequence, one of the best-studied classes of short interspersed elements(SINEs), per haploid genome. Individual Alu units share a282-nucleotide consensus sequence followed by a 3 @adenine@richtail region [Schmid (1998)]. Given that there are approximately3 * 10^9 base pairs per human haploid genome, about how manybase pairs are spaced between each Alu sequence?
Briefly explain the frameshift mutation ?

- SDS-PAGE and Agarose gel electrophoresis can both be used to separate proteins or protein- complexes based on their size. Separation of a multi-subunit protein complex by SDS-PAGE resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 86 KDa and 136 KDa, while separation of the same complex using Agarose gel electrophoresis resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 222 KDa and 444 KDa. Based on this information, which of the following statements is most likely to be correct?
