Answer to Problem 16.45EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Primary alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde as intermediate product. This on further oxidation gives carboxylic acid as the product. The general scheme can be represented as shown below,
Given substance is,
This is a primary alcohol. The given compound is ethanol. Ethanol on oxidation gives ethanal as the intermediate product. The formed ethanal on oxidation gives ethanoic acid as the product. The complete scheme can be represented as shown below,
The carboxylic acid that is formed on oxidation of the given substance is ethanoic acid. The structural formula of ethanoic acid is given below,

Alcohols undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom. Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction. Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and carboxylic acid as product. Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.
Aldehyde undergoes oxidation to give carboxylic acid as the product while ketone does not undergo oxidation reaction.
Aromatic carboxylic acids are prepared from alkyl substituted benzenes.

Answer to Problem 16.45EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Given substance is,
Oxidation of the alkyl side chain in a benzene derivative leads to the formation of aromatic acids. All the carbon atoms in alkyl group are lost except the one that is attached to the ring. The one carbon that is attached to the ring becomes a part of carboxyl functional group. This can be depicted as shown below,
The product formed is benzoic acid.
Structural formula of the carboxylic acid formed by the oxidation of given substance is drawn.

For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
