Chapter 9, Problem 34P
Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Table-C contains DNA-sequence information compiled by Marilyn Kozak (1987). The data consists of the percentage of A, C, G and T at each position among the 12 nucleotides preceding the start codon in 699 genes from various vertebrate species and at the first nucleotide after the start codon.(The start codon occupies positions +1 to +3, and the first nucleotide immediately after the start codon occupies +4).Use the data to conclude the consensus order for the 13 nucleotides (-12 to -1 and +4) surrounding the start codon in vertebrate genes.

Introduction:

Consensus sequences are a short stretch of DNA sequences that are commonly located nucleotides found at a specific location of DNA and RNA. These sequences are used for inter or intramolecular interactions. These sequences are similar in structure and function in all organisms. The consensus sequence is a calculated order that states the most frequent nucleotide at that position in the alignment.

Imagine you are a botanist.  Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).   Field Notes:  Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park                 (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis:  Body:  Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm  Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves:  Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History:  Diploid sporophyte dominant generation.  Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte.  Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced.  Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
