a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason for accepting or rejecting the statement “Transcription does not take place” when bacteria are raised at an elevated temperature if rho is not functional at a higher temperature and the strain of bacteria possesses a mutation in a gene that encodes the rho subunit.

Introduction:

Rho-factor is a type of prokaryotic protein which causes termination of the transcription process when the RNA forms a hairpin loop structure. Rho-factor displaces RNA polymerase and stops the transcription process.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason for accepting or rejecting the statement “All RNA molecules are shorter than normal” when bacteria are raised at an elevated temperature if rho is not functional at a higher temperature and the strain of bacteria possesses a mutation in a gene that encodes the rho subunit.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason for accepting or rejecting the statement “Some RNA molecules are longer than normal” when bacteria are raised at an elevated temperature if rho is not functional at a higher temperature and the strain of bacteria possesses a mutation in a gene that encodes the rho subunit.

Introduction:

Rho-factor is a type of prokaryotic protein which causes termination of the transcription process when the RNA forms a hairpin loop structure. Rho-factor displaces RNA polymerase and stops the transcription process.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason for accepting or rejecting the statement “RNA is copied from both DNA strands” when bacteria are raised at an elevated temperature if rho is not functional at a higher temperature and the strain of bacteria possesses a mutation in a gene that encodes the rho subunit.

The Sentinel Cell: Nature’s Answer to Cancer?
Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
