(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:  Whether snRNA (small nuclear ribose nucleic acid) used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether spliceosome used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein) used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(d)

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether lariat used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

AAAGAGAAAAGAAUA to AAAGAGAAAUGAAUA. Suppose the codon sequence has a single base pair mutation If the old protein sequence was Lys-Glu-Lys-Arg-Ile, what will be the new sequence encoded by the mutant gene? (Use the 3-letter amino acid abbreviations with hyphens and no spaces in between, i.e. Ser-Asn-Tyr-Leu-Pro.) Submit Answer Retry Entire Group No more group attempts remain
True or False. Explain. A) At no time during protein synthesis does an amino acid make direct contact with the mRNA being translated. B) Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.
proteins. Which of the following will tell you whether a protein would be found in the lumen of the ER? A. You run a hydropathy plot an look for hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids B. You isolate microsomes and see whether the proteins are inserted into the membrane of the microsome C. You run a hydropathy plot an look for a lack of hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids O D. You do in vitro translation of each protein in the presence or absence of microsomes and look to see whether there is a size change in the presence of microsomes.
