- You may wish to consult the genetic code above to answer the following question. A mutation has changed a portion of a protein coding gene that encodes a messenger RNA sequence. The original messenger RNA sequence is 5-AUGCCCAGAGCU-3' Which mutation is a nonsynonymous (missense) mutation that changes a single amino acid in the encoded protein? O 5-AUGCCCAGGGCC-3' O 5'-AUGCCCUGAGCU-3' O 5'-AUGCCCACAGCU-3 5'-AUGCCCCAGAGCU-3arrow_forwardDefine transfer RNA (tRNA)arrow_forwardSeveral snoRNAs tend to be found within intron sequences of other genes. Such snoRNAs are processed out of the intron and are not separately transcribed. Speculate, with good scientific reasoning, what the advantage is of such an arrangement (vs. being transcribed separately). In your answer, describe the function of these RNAs.arrow_forward
- RNA helicases are a class of proteins that bind mRNAs and influence their secondary structures and interactions with other proteins. RNA helicases have been implicated in many steps of RNA regulation such as splicing, decay, and translation.

- Knowing that the genetic code is almost universal, a scientist uses molecular biological methods to insert the human β-globin gene (Shown in Figure 17.11) into bacterial cells, hoping the cells will express it and synthesize functional β-globin protein. Instead, the protein produced is nonfunctional and is found to contain many fewer amino acids than does β-globin made by a eukaryotic cell. Explain why.arrow_forward1) Considering how readily RNA folds to form a secondary structure, why isn’t it used to store genetic information rather than double-stranded DNA? Cite multiple reasons. 2) Do miRNA and siRNA both derive from the same source? Explain.arrow_forwardSuppressor tRNA often carries a mutation that change the anti-codon to match the mutated codon. Propose two other examples, where mutation in a RNA could suppress the mutation in another RNA, one from eukaryotes and the other from prokaryotes. You must specify the names for the RNA or RNA elements and the process they play roles in RNA 1 RNA 2 process prokaryote eukaryotearrow_forward
