SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Some mutations result in proteins that function well at one temperature but are nonfunctional at a different (usually higher) temperature. Siamese cats have such a “temperature-sensitive” mutation in a gene encoding an enzyme that makes dark pigment in the fur. The mutation results in the breed's distinctive point markings and lighter body color (see the photo). Using this information and what you learned in the chapter, explain the pattern of the cat’s fur pigmentation.

Students have asked these similar questions
You suspect a protein that is being expressed has been affected by a mutation. When you examine the fully functional protein you find curiously that it still has retained all of its overall function. A friend of yours doing research with you assures you when examining the genetic data a new mutation does in fact exist in this protein. What is the most likely type of mutation that occurred based on this information?
Group of answer choices
frameshift mutation
silent mutation
nonsense mutation
A gene affecting the behavioral outlook of individuals was discovered in several humans who can overcome anxiety caused by life's problems. Part of the gene that į translated into protein has a sequence 3'-GGATCCCGAATGTAATGCGTGCTC AATGGTAGTACGGC-5'.
1. What is the complementary strand of the DNA?
2. What is the sequence of the MRNA product after translation?
3. What is the sequence of the peptide encoded by the portion of the gene? (Use one letter symbol of amino acids)
Transcribe and translate the mutated sequence #1. Determine the consequence, if any, for each mutation. You will need to use your codon charts in your ISN. Practice with both charts.

- Im stuck on this question:(arrow_forwardYou are working on a protein for a research project. The protein does not express well in prokaryotic expression systems so you decide to try a eukaryotic system, baker’s yeast, instead. As part of the expression system, you add a signal peptide to the protein so that it will be exported through the endomembrane system to the outside of the yeast cell. This makes purifying the protein much simpler. During the purification, you notice that the protein is heavier than it should be during gel filtration chromatography. This is confirmed by SDS-PAGE. What could be the reason that the protein has gained mass when expressed in the eukaryotic system?arrow_forwardpls help me to do these my activity and answer properlyarrow_forward

Which type of mutation stops the translation of an mRNA molecule? 2. Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule Hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red bloods cells. The mutation causes these red blood cells to become stife sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels, causing poin ond increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart & lungs, and other conditions.
