Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 4S
There are a number of features that are unique 10 bacteria, and others that are unique to eukaryotes. Could any of these features offer the possibility to control gene expression in a way that is unique to either eukaryotes or bacteria?

Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the process of gene expression in Bacteria versus eukaryotes. Remember that “gene expression” can include any part of transcription or translation. Try to be as thorough as you can about what aspects of this process are similar between the two taxa, and what characteristics are distinct to only Bacteria or eukaryotes. Plase include a minimum of 15 items in the Venn diagram.
i)Describe attenuation control and how it is used to regulate gene expression.
ii)Give a specific example of how this works?
iii)Could this be used in eukaryotes? why ?or why not?
The following is a difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic gene regulation:
O Only prokaryotes have operons
O Only eukaryotes can regulate genes by altering chromatin structure
O Only prokaryotes can have coordinated expression of several genes
O Only eukaryotes have proteins that act as activators of transcription

- You and your fellow researchers want to make bacteria glow using a eukaryotic gene that results in bioluminescence. What factors should you consider when attempting to express eukaryotic genes in prokaryotic cells before designing your experiment?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the attempt to express a eukaryotic gene in bacteria is TRUE? Choose an answer below: The eukaryotic promoter will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be capped. Expression of the gene will always yield a functional protein. The stop codon of the eukaryotic gene will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be spliced the same way as in eukaryotic cells.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows RNA-Seq data (RED) for the D. melanogaster transformer (tra) gene obtained from both adult female and male fruit flies. The blue lines indicate the tra gene structure, with thicker lines indicating exons, and thin lines introns. The 5' end of the gene is on the left, and the 3' end of the gene is on the right. Based on these data, the most likely conclusion is: Males and females express identical isoforms of tra Males express more tra RNA than females The female isoform has fewer amino acids The female isoform has more amino acids The male and female isoforms have different 3'UTRsarrow_forward
- How can the same modification of the standard genetic code happen in two organelle genomes (chloroplasts and mitochondria) and in the same organism?arrow_forwardHow would you contrast gene regulation in prokaryotes with that in eukaryotes?arrow_forwardA full-length eukaryotic gene is inserted into a bacterial chromosome. The gene contains a complete promoter, polyadenylation sequence and a wildtype nucleotide sequence. However, the gene does not produce a functional protein List four reasons why this gene is not expressed in bacteria List five changes you recommend that allow expression of this eukaryotic gene in bacteriaarrow_forward
- Shown below are three genes (gene 1, gene 2, and gene 3) located on the same bacterial chromosome. a) Indicate where on the diagram you would find the following for each gene: Promoter (p1 for gene 1, p2 for gene 2, and p3 for gene 3) Transcription termination site (tts1, tts2, and tts3) Start codon (start1, start2, and start3) Stop codon (stop1, stop2, and stop3) Template strand (ts1, ts2, and ts3), the DNA strand that directs RNA synthesis Be sure to indicate the component on the appropriate molecule (DNA or RNA).arrow_forwardWhich of the following is characteristic of genes and gene regulation in bacteria but not in eukaryotes? (a) presence of enhancers (b) capping of mRNAs (c) many chromosomes per cell (d) binding of DNA to regulatory proteins (e) no requirement for exon splicingarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are true about gene regulation in bacteria? Choose all that could apply Multiple answer apply A genes with related functions are often grouped together and are transcribed into a single piece of RNA B small molecules act as sensors and bind DNA to change its 3D shape C enhancers are commonly used to regulate transcription D repressor proteins block transcription by binding to operator sequences E activator proteins bind near promoters and increase the efficiency of transcriptionarrow_forward
- Most organisms display a circadian rhythm, a cycling of biological processes that is roughly synchronized with day length. In Drosophila, pupae eclose (emerge as adults after metamorphosis) at dawn. a)Using this knowledge how would screen for Drosophila mutants that have an impaired circadian rhythm? b)In each case, how would you clone the genes you identified by mutation?arrow_forwardEukaryotic cells contain O a) 5 nuclear RNA polymerases b) 3 nuclear RNA polymerases O c) 6 nuclear RNA polymerases O d) none of these is true that transcribe distinct classes of genes.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best explains how the expression of a eukaryotic gene encoding a protein will differ if the gene is expressed in a prokaryotic cell instead of in a eukaryotic cell? No transcript will be made, because eukaryotic DNA cannot be transcribed by prokaryotic RNA polymerase. The protein will be made but will not function, because prokaryotes cannot remove introns. The protein will not be made, because prokaryotes lack the ribosomes necessary for translation. The protein will have a different sequence of amino acids, because prokaryotes use a different genetic code.arrow_forward
