- A group of researchers are trying to find out whether a specific intron follows the splicing mechanism for Group I or Group II introns. They start out with two samples, each containing sufficient buffer conditions for self-splicing to occur, and a strand of mRNA that is 4,500 nt long that includes the intron of interest, which is 500 nt long (see schematic below). Sample 1 has nothing else added, whereas sample 2 has additional free guanosines. Intron 1,000 nt 500 nt 3,000 nt After incubating the samples for a sufficient amount of time for the reaction to occur, the researchers visualize the products from both samples on a DNA agarose gel, and then conclude that the intron is a Group II intron. a) Please predict the results from the DNA gel for both samples 1 and 2 by drawing the bands in the blank gel with DNA ladder provided below: How many bands are seen for each sample?

A gene is discovered to encode for two different proteins one protein has 46 amino acids and the other protein has 86 amino acid 2.
