Given a polynucleotide sequence such as GAATTC,explain what further information you would need inorder to identify which is the 5′ end. (See Figure 16.5.)
We have talked about several examples of cis-acting elements that have dyad symmetry (inverted
repeat symmetry). Some function on the level of DNA, and others function on the level of RNA. Give
one example of one that functions at the DNA level and briefly explain why the sequence requires
dyad symmetry to work properly. Note: you don't have to give an exact sequence, just the name of
the element.
