QUESTION 4 Suppose you have a length of DNA sequence that corresponds to a complete mRNA open reading frame (coding region) for a protein enzyme (i.e. the region from the translation start codon reading continuously through to the translation stop codon). Which of the following might be a way to help determine if the DNA is from human or E. coli? O A. Examine the translation start codon, it should be only be AUG (ATG) if the DNA is from E. coli. O B. Digest with a restriction enzyme, bacterial DNA should be cut but human DNA should not. O C. Compare the codon usage to E. coli and human codon usage tables. O D. Look for splice sites GT-AG, those should only be present if the DNA is from human. O E. Both B and D

QUESTION 4
Suppose you have a length of DNA sequence that corresponds to a complete mRNA open reading frame
(coding region) for a protein enzyme (i.e. the region from the translation start codon reading continuously
through to the translation stop codon). Which of the following might be a way to help determine if the DNA is
from human or E. coli?
O A.
Examine the translation start codon, it should be only be AUG (ATG) if the DNA is from E. coli.
O B. Digest with a restriction enzyme, bacterial DNA should be cut but human DNA should not.
O C. Compare the codon usage to E. coli and human codon usage tables.
O D. Look for splice sites GT-AG, those should only be present if the DNA is from human.
O E. Both B and D
