Question

The diagram below shows a hybridization experiment between a
eukaryotic MRNA and the template strand of its gene. Which of the
following statements is FALSE?
This gene contains four exons.
The 5' end of the MRNA is on the left side.
Hybridization of a prokaryotic MRNA and its DNA template strand will
not show loops of unpaired DNA.
The gene's introns are visible as unpaired DNA loops.
None of the above

Expert Solution

Step 1 This is an R loop hybridization experiment.

It was performed using both the cytoplasmic RNA (ribonucleic acid) and nuclear pre-mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid). The results from these experiments showed that the eukaryotic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains introns/intervening sequences which are excised from the primary transcript of mRNA. This takes place during the processing of the primary transcript to form the mature mRNA.
