Question
Chapter 29, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Anexplanation of chromosome fusion in cells lacking telomerase enzyme needs to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Short repeated sequences that are rich in G base and are present on to the ends of chromosomes are known as telomer. They are added by the enzyme telomerase at the end of the chromosome in order to protect it. Generally, the activity of telomerase is maintained in germline cells.

Draw a replication bubble. Be sure to label the directionality of all strands of DNA. For one of the two replication forks, draw and label all of the proteins required the text describes as being important for DNA synthesis, and label the leading and lagging strands.
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 procedure
Please help me with the orange question.
My answer is leading strand will encounter lagging strand.
I dont know if it’s correct.

- Close contact. Examination of the structure of DNA polymerases bound to nucleotide analogs reveals that conserved residues come within van der Waals contact of C-2'C-2' of the bound nucleotide. What is the potential significance of this interaction?arrow_forwardQuestion. The function of FG-nucleoporins within the nuclear pore complex is to: shield large, hydrophilic, unchaperoned proteins from entering the nucleus. prevent small, hydrophobic proteins from entering the nucleus. cleave the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) from the protein to be imported. aid GAP in the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. All of the above. Question 5, Ultimately, the entire process of nuclear protein import is driven by: the concentration gradient of the imported protein across the nuclear membrane. the localization of Ran FG-nucleoporins in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) GTP hydrolysis None of the above Question 6 During the process of nuclear import, a GEF works in the: cytoplasm to exchange GTP for the GDP bound to Ran cytoplasm to use GTP to release Ran from importin nucleus to exchange GTP for the GDP bound to Ran nucleus to activate the intrinsic GTPase activity of Ranarrow_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.

- True or False. Topoisomerase I does not require ATP to break and rejoin DNA strands because the energy of the phospho-diester bond is stored transiently in a phospho-tyrosine linkage in the enzyme’s active site. Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.arrow_forwardPart I. Structure-Function Relationships in Genes 1. Consider the "two-line model" of a gene shown below - each line represents one strand of a DNA double helix, and the transcription start site is indicated as +1. Use the two-line models provided when answering the following questions. 3' 5' +1 Assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the right during transcription. On the diagram above, do the following: • Label "upstream" and "downstream" on this gene • Label where you would find the promoter min I • Draw a box where you would expect to find the TATA box • Draw a third line below the model representing the RNA transcript (label the ends!) • Label one of the DNA strands as the template strand 3' 2. Now, let's try that again! This time assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the left during transcription. Repeat the same tasks as before on the diagram below: 5' 5' 3' +1 I I 5' 3'arrow_forwardBackward? Bacteriophage T7 helicase moves along DNA in the 5'-to- 3'5'-to-3' direction. Other helicases have been reported to move in the 3'-to-5'3'-to-5' direction. Is there any fundamental reason why you would expect helicases to move in one direction or the other?arrow_forward
- True or False. De-acetylation of histone tails allows nucleosomes to pack together into tighter arrays, which usually reduces gene expression. Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.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. Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.arrow_forwardQuestion. What would the forward primer sequence look like if it were intended to bind the area of the DNA template?arrow_forward

During this reaction, a small molecule is introduced that removes free hydroxyl groups from DNA (but not protein). Please draw the resulting product under these conditions, including the arrow pushing mechanisms that lead to the product(s). s' CH₂ DNA Base O 111110 H CH₂ Basearrow_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.
