Question
Chapter 4, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The axial ratio (length: diameter) 20 micrometers long DNA molecule should be determined.
Concept introduction:
In science, rod-like molecules are named as Axial Ratio. In normal language it is the length of the rod divided by the diameter of the rod.

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.

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
True 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.

- Need answer ASAP. The double-stranded molecule of DNA: AG/TC is a very good representation of the much larger chromosome. Diagram and label this molecule, then describe how would this molecule look if it were a DNA/RNA hybrid using the AG for the DNA strand.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.

Go look at the model of DNA on the demonstration table. We have been presenting DNA as a straight ladder, but actually it is twisted on itself like a spiral staircase. This shape is called a heliz. Observe The Chromosome Normally DNA exists as loose strands (chromatin) in the nucleus of a cell. This nuclear DNA sends a message (RNA) to the ribosomes where protein and enzymes are synthesized. When stretched out, the length of one DNA molecule in a human cell is almost 4 cm. However, the cell itself is but a tiny fraction of that size. During cell reproduction the DNA must be able to move around. So it shortens its length by tightly coiling up. In doing so, the DNA strands become wider and are visible under a microscope.…arrow_forward
