Question
Chapter 29, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason due to which the activation of telomerase gene causes cell to become cancerous needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for repair of the extend of telomeres. Telomerase regulates check on tumor cells. These are made up of proteins and RNA subunits.

transformation 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.)
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.
Complements. The sequence of part of an mRNA is
5'-AUGGGGAACAGCAAGAGUGGGGCCCUGUCCAAGGAG-3'
5'-AUGGGGAACAGCAAGAGUGGGGCCCUGUCCAAGGAG-3'

- True 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_forwardHaving trouble with last 3 blanks. Please explainarrow_forwardTrue or False.
