Question
Chapter 13, Problem 50RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between the nature of transcription in yeast grown in aerobic and that in anaerobic conditions, using DNA microarrays, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The total DNA of a cell that contains all the genes is called a genome.
The total complement of proteins is called a proteome.
The whole genome of an organism can be stored in the form of a DNA library.
cDNA libraries are used to store only the active genomes of an organism.
A DNA microchip contains specific single-stranded DNA sequences, which can be used to bind with cDNA. This tells which genes are active.

- REFLECT AND APPLY List three mechanisms that relax the twisting stress in helical DNA molecules.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Your book contains about 2 million characters (letters, spaces, and punctuation marks). If you could type with the accuracy with which the prokaryote E. coli incorporates, proofreads, and repairs bases in replication (about one uncorrected error in 109to1010 bases), how many such books would you have to type before an uncorrected error is permitted? (Assume that the error rate is one in 1010 bases.)arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Why was the development of a coding system important to the development of life?arrow_forward
- REFLECT AND APPLY In prokaryotic protein synthesis, N-formylmethionine (fmet) is the first amino acid incorporated, whereas (normal) methionine is incorporated in eukaryotes. The same codon (AUG) serves both. What prevents methionine from being inserted into the beginning and N-formylmethionine in the interior?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY It is possible for the codons for a single amino acid to have the first two bases in common and to differ in the third base. Why is this experimental observation consistent with the concept of wobble?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY A sample of a peptide of unknown sequence was treated with trypsin; another sample of the same peptide was treated with chymotrypsin. The sequences (N-terminal to C-terminal) of the smaller peptides produced by trypsin digestion were as follows: MetValSerThrLysValIleTrpThrLeuMetIleLeuPheAsnGluSeArg The sequences of the smaller peptides produced by chymotrypsin digestion were as follows: AsnGluSerArgValIleTrpThrLeuMetIleMetValSerThrLysLeuPhe Deduce the sequence of the original peptide.arrow_forward
