You are working in the lab and have measured the size of mRNA that has been transcribed from a particular gene in your cell population.
The length of the gene in the cells you are working, measured from the start to the stop sequence is 9000 nucleotides. When you measure
the RNA, however, the size is only 3000 nucleotides. What do you think happened?
O a. Three DNA base pairs code for one RNA nucleotide.
b. mRNA does not contain exons.
c. There must have been a deletion mutation in the DNA in these cells.
Od. The poly-A tail is present in the DNA but not on the mRNA.
Oe. RNA splicing occurred, so introns are removed in the mRNA.
a. The reading frame DNA sequence is
b. The mRNA sequence is
c. The polypeptide sequence is
a.The mutated polypeptide sequence is
b.What kind of mutation was produced?

- You obtained the sequence of the frog gene X you amplified in Question #16 through a process called automated sequencing. In automated sequencing, you are given a printout of the sense strand of your DNA. The first thing you need to do is use the correct reading frame. Having done this, the next thing to do is to write out the mRNA sequence using this sense strand reading frame. The last thing to do is to translate the sequence. a.The reading frame DNA sequence is: b.The mRNA sequence is: c.The polypeptide sequence is: A disease in frogs which causes their tongue to fall out of their mouths is killing the frog population in LA County. You obtain a dead frog and isolate its gene Xf.
