Summary Introduction

To write:

The nucleotide sequence of RNA produced from the transcription of DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA.

Introduction:

A nucleotide is formed from three components “pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases”. Nucleic acids are complex molecules found in living organisms. They are formed from the interaction of many nucleotides. These are DNA and RNA. DNA stands for “deoxyribonucleic acid” and RNA stands for “ribonucleic acid”

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The process of conversion of DNA into a form of RNA (mRNA) is termed as transcription. DNA and RNA contain the same type of nitrogenous bases. However, thymine is replaced by another nitrogenous base uracil (U) in RNA.

Therefore, the RNA transcript formed from DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA is GCUAAUGAAG.

Conclusion

GCUAAUGAAG is the nucleotide sequence of RNA produced from the transcription of DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
Molecular Biology Please help. Thank you. Discuss/define the following:(a) poly A polymerase (b) trans-splicing (c) operon
