The figure to show the way in which reverse transcription is catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and labeling of nucleic acids involved and produced by the process and draw arrows that indicated the direction of synthesis along the template. Introduction: A gene is a set of nucleotides that codes a particular protein. Gene expression causes the synthesis of a protein. The gene expression is regulated in a controlled way depending on the requirement of the cell. For example, proteins involved in cell division are synthesized prior to the cell division. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes have differential gene expression in order to suit the specific needs of the cell.

Consider the mRNA sequence below. Assume that the following mRNA segment has been translated. 5'-GCAAGUCUUAAU-3' Note for numbers 1 and 2: Use the three-letter abbreviation of amino acid; separate amino acids with a hyphen: do not include the stop codon. Example: ala-cys-glu 1. Using the table of the genetic code, determine the sequence of amino acids. ala-ser-leu-asn 2. If mutation occurs by substitution of the 6th nucleotide with adenosine-5'- monophosphate, what is the resulting amino acid sequence? 3. What type of mutation occurred? Choose from same sense, missense and non-sense.

The diagram below depicts an active transcription bubble after a short period of RNA synthesis during the transcription process of a prokaryotic gene. Redraw the diagram and label parts (i) to (v) on the diagram. Motivate your answers. (i) the template and the non-template strands; (ii) the orientation (direction) of both DNA strands and that of the newly synthesised RNA strand; (iii) the location of a possible promotor sequence; (iv) the location of a possible Shine-Dalgarno sequence; (v) the specific area of activity of a RNA polymerase.

Consider this list (below) of steps involved in transcription. These steps are out of order. TRANSCRIPTION: 1. mRNA travels through a nuclear pore and enters the cytoplasm 2. the mRNA polymerase attaches at the start of a specific gene 3. RNA polymerase reads the gene surface4. a transcription factor bonds to a promoter site5. DNA molecule is unwound 6. a complimentary mRNA is produced What is the correct order of this transcription?
