Question
Chapter 29, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the significance of two Mg2+ ions in RNA polymerase II active state.
Concept introduction:
DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule made of two chains which coil around one another. These form a double helix which carries instructions genetical in nature like related to reproduction, growth, development, functioning of the living organisms.
There are two Mg2+ ions that are present in the RNA polymerase II active state.

Imagine a warm pond on the primordial Earth.Chance processes have just assembled a single copy of anRNA molecule with a catalytic site that can carry out RNAreplication. This RNA molecule folds into a structure thatis capable of linking nucleotides according to instructionsin an RNA template. Given an adequate supply of nucleo-tides, will this single RNA molecule be able to use itself as atemplate to catalyze its own replication? Why or why not?

Explain why or why not.1 The consequences of errors in transcription areless severe than those of errors in DNA replication.2 Since introns are largely genetic “junk,” they do nothave to be removed precisely from the primary transcriptduring RNA splicing.3 Wobble pairing occurs between the first positionin the codon and the third position in the anticodon.4 During protein synthesis, the thermodynamics ofbase-pairing between tRNAs and mRNAs sets the upperlimit for the accuracy with which protein molecules aremade.5 Protein enzymes are thought to greatly outnum-ber ribozymes in modern cells because they can catalyzea much greater variety of reactions and all of them havefaster rates than any ribozyme.arrow_forward
