(a)
To determine: Three possible explanations why the mutant form of mitotic cyclin is not degraded at the onset of anaphase.
Introduction: Usually mitotic cyclin, a protein, is selectively degraded at the onset of anaphase. Recombinant DNA techniques have been used to create a mutant form of the protein. It is seen that this protein is not degraded at the onset of anaphase.
(b)
To determine: Experiments that could be carried out to distinguish among the different explanations why the mutant form of mitotic cyclin is not degraded at the onset of anaphase.
Introduction: Usually mitotic cyclin, a protein, is selectively degraded at the onset of anaphase. Recombinant DNA techniques have been used to create a mutant form of the protein. It is seen that this protein is not degraded at the onset of anaphase.
(c)
To determine: The kind of protein in which mutation has occurred such that the results are altered.
Introduction: Usually mitotic cyclin, a protein, is selectively degraded at the onset of anaphase. Recombinant DNA techniques have been used to create a mutant form of the protein. It is seen that this protein is not degraded at the onset of anaphase. A mutation was seen in a second protein which also prevents degradation of mitotic cyclin.

- Please help me solve this problem. I am really having a hard time understanding this lesson. Please help. Kindly provide all the necessary information to this problem. Thank you! Please answer numbers 1-5 determine what amino acid will be formed from the given DNA strand below: 3’ T A C A T G C C G A A T G C C 5’ Note: Prepare the partner strand of this DNA. Discuss how will replication happen by mentioning the enzyme needed then transcribe to form mRNA. Discuss what will happen to mRNA, then translate, mentioning the anticodon to be used. Look at the genetic code to know what amino acid will become part of the polypeptide chain. 1. Partner DNA strand 2. the mRNA strand 3. The tRNA 4. the formed amino acids 5. the discussion of the entire procedurearrow_forwardTrue or False. Just write T if it is true and F if it is false. In E. coli both RNA and protein synthesis take place in the cytoplasm. Okazaki fragments are ssDNA CHAINS OF 100-200 nucleotides long, primed by very short RNA primers in bacteria. In eukaryotic gene, the coding sequences are known as introns while the intervening sequences are the exons. The central dogma refers to the fact that proteins are products of information encoded in RNA using a DNA intermediate. The ends of the linear chromosomes are maintained by telomerase to prevent it from shortening during mitosis. The Shine Delgarno sequence is where the RNA pol binds during transcription in prokaryotes The sigma subunit of the E. coli RNA polymerase confers specificity to transcription. Both DNA replication and transcription follow a 5’ to 3’ direction of polarity. Nucleosomes are the structural unit of chromatin. In the lagging strand, the enzyme X removes RNA primers attached by PRIMASE and this gap is then filled…arrow_forwardTrue or False. In a comparison between the DNAs of related organisms such as humans and mice, conserved sequences represent functionally important exons and regulatory regions, and non-conserved sequences generally represent noncoding DNA.

- An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3' 3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one (yellow) but farther upstream. Normal 3' end of intron 5' CCTATTGGTCTATTITCCACCCITAGGCTGCTG 3' 5' CCTATTAGTCTAIIIICCACCCTTAGGCTGCTG 3' What is the amino acid sequence of the extra segment of protein synthesized in a thalassemic patient having a mutation leading to aberrant splicing? The reading frame after the splice site begins with TCT.arrow_forwardtransformation and CRISPR. In your own words, briefly describe two differences between these technologies. (For example, these can be differences between their outcomes, procedures, reagents, or something else.)arrow_forwardI am more confused. how about we start from begining, you post answers on here, and then we go from there? 1. Identify the open reading frame in the following DNA sequence, the protein that this gene encodes for, its function, and the source. 2. "Look carefully at the DNA sequence and identify the start site for transcription" 3. Click on the DNA sequence from the start site of transcription, select all of the sequence, and copy the sequence. Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence (gene) you submit. Next click on blastx (translated nucleotide protein). Paste the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll down and click BLAST. The search may take a few seconds; the page will keep updating until the search is completed. You do not need to enter any…arrow_forward
- Polymerase inhibition. Cordycepin inhibits poly(A) synthesis at low concentrations and RNA synthesis at higher concentrations. NH2 H. он Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin? b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other RNAS to the presence of cordycepin? c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?arrow_forwardplease help me with this question. As this is a non-directional cloning, recombinant plasmids can contain an insert ligated into the vector in two different orientations. Provide two diagrams to illustrate the two potential recombinant plasmids, with the inserts ligated in opposite orientations. Include all RE sites and distances between sites on the diagram.arrow_forwardtraffic deaths in 10 years. Does daylight savings time increase the number of traffic deaths? (Many countries are in the process of getting rid of the time change - even though the Senate did vote to stop the time change the legislation seems to have stalled (as usual!)). 6) Epistasis is a phenomenon in which one gene controls the expression of another. In one case, a dihybrid cross should yield a 9:3:4 ratio. You collect the following data on mice: black coat: 218 Is there any reason to doubt the ratio of 9 black: 3 brown : 4 white? brown coat: 76 white coat: 89arrow_forward

How would this mutation affect the likelihood of bacteriophage entering the lytic phase?arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE. Non-homologous end-joining as a DNA repair mechanism does not result in loss of nucleotides as a result of a double-strand break.arrow_forwardplease help me with thi question.
