Question
Chapter 33, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The percentage of accessible DNA sites in yeast and the number of base pairs in 12 Mb yeast genome which corresponds to the above percentage should be determined.
Concept introduction:
GAL4-UAS is a method to study gene expression and its function in the organism’s body. It is also used to study the functions of receptor chemical-binding in vitro. GAL4 gene encodes the protein Gal4, a yeast transcription factor. The UAS is a protein sequence, which acts as an enhancer to GAL4 gene.

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?
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.

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.

- Explain well. Please . Asaparrow_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_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_forward
