Question
Chapter 20, Problem 4SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The four effects that mycolic acid in the cell wall of Mycobacterium leprae have on the microbe’s growth rate and resistance to antimicrobial drugs.
Introduction:
Mycobacterium leprae is an intracellular pathogenic bacterium that causes leprosy. The bacteria that engulfs the cells of the nervous system not only affects it directly, but the toxins released by bacteria growing elsewhere in the body can also affect the neurons. The symptoms of leprosy include granuloma of nerves, skin and respiratory tract.

8. Transcription and Translation Practice: (Video 10-1 and 10-2)
A. Below is the sense strand of a DNA gene. Using the sense strand, create the antisense
DNA strand and label the 5' and 3' ends.
B. Use the antisense strand that you create in part A as a template to create the mRNA
transcript of the gene and label the 5' and 3' ends.
C. Translate the mRNA you produced in part B into the polypeptide sequence making sure
to follow all the rules of translation.
