You insert this DNA into your worms, and you can see some glow in the muscle cells, but it is not nearly as bright as you were expecting. You sequence the whole gene and all of the DNA you tried to put in is present. and there are NO mutations. You decide to test how much MRNA is present for your normal muscle specific gene and your new gene. NOTE: this is not the length of the mRNA, but the number of strands of MRNA produced from the DNA. If you did this test and the amount of mRNA was the same, but there was less glowing protein, describe one potential difference between these two genes that might account for this difference in protein amounts. Remember there are no mutations and they have the same amount of MRNA There are a variety of correct answers here, you only have to describe one, but your answer must be something that would affect protein quantity and you must describe how it would affect quantity. Please answer in a complete sentence.

Thank u!!
Transcribed Image Text:You are a scientist studying muscle cells. You are interested in making all
of the muscle cells of a worm glow green. You have identified a muscle
specific protein that is expressed in all muscle cells of the worm. You have
also found a protein in jelly fish that glows green. You take all of the DNA
from the glowing jelly fish gene between the +1 site and transcription
termination, and par it with the promoter from the muscle gene from
worms. You then take this new construct (shown below) and insert it into
the genome of your worms using a virus. This virus inserts the DNA in a
random place in the genome.

If you did this test and the amount of mRNA was the same, but there was
less glowing protein, describe one potential difference between these two
genes that might account for this difference in protein amounts.
Remember there are no mutations and they have the same amount of
MRNA
There are a variety of correct answers here, you only have to describe
one, but your answer must be something that would affect protein
quantity and you must describe how it would affect quantity.
