Chapter 19, Problem 19.1PS

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The possible RNA molecules from the given human DNA.

Introduction: DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid can be defined as a molecule consisting of all the genetic information. It is comprised of two chains which coil to form a double helix structure.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The translation of only one out of two RNA molecules.

Introduction: In the process of translation, the synthesis of proteins occurs with the help of ribosomes or endoplasmic reticulum. The translation process has three phases which include initiation, elongation, and termination.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The amino acid sequence for vasopressin if the RNA molecule that can be translated is mRNA for hormone vasopressin.

Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The vasopressin in its active form is nonapeptide with cysteine at the N-terminus.

Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to change DNA that encodes vasopressin to encode for oxytocin and also suggest the evolutionary relationship between genes for vasopressin and oxytocin or not.

Introduction: Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone and is released from the pituitary gland. In the body, this hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the blood.

TRUE or FALSE. If false, write the word/s that make(s) the statement incorrect. 1.The 2 subunits of DNA PoI II are called clamp loader and sliding clamps.  2. In eukaryotes, replication and transcription occur in the nucleus, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
Original sequence:    Consider the following coding 71 nucleotide DNA template sequence (It does not contain a translational start):  5’-GTTTCCCCTATGCTTCATCACGAGGGCACTGACATGTGTAAACGAAATTCCAACCTGAGCGGCGT GTTGAG-3’    Question:    4) In a mutant you discovered that the underlined nucleotide has  been deleted. What would the resulting peptide sequence be? What  type of mutation is this?  5’-GTTTCCCCTATGCTTCATCACGAGGGCACTGACATGTGTAAACGAAATTCCAACCTGAGCGGCGT GTTGAG-3
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
