Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
The translation can begin even before the mRNA transcription is completed in the bacteria. Why this does not occur in eukaryotes.
Introduction:
Translation is a process where the genetic information carried out by the messenger RNA is converted into the specific amino acid sequence. The sequential amino acids together form the polypeptide chains of proteins.

- Indicate which of the following items are associated with transcription or translation. This could be in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, or both. Group of answer choices: Translation OR Transcription Sigma binds to the promoter mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit Spliceosomes remove introns and splice together exons Nucleotides are added from the 5' to 3' end tRNA anticodon binds to the corresponding mRNA codon STOP codon results in terminationarrow_forwardResearchers are studying the mechanism of the antibiotic chloramphenicol.

Which of the following describes where in the model chloramphenicol acts to interfere with the production of proteins from DNA? during initiation during elongation during termination during protein releasearrow_forwardTranscription is the first step in gene expression. It involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. It is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template). Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. What is the difference between Rho Dependent and Rho Independent termination in prokaryotes?arrow_forward
- Which statement is false: A) Each type of protein ( ex: hemoglobin vs trypsionngen) varies in the length and amino acid sequence of its peptide B) After the rpocess of transcription is complete, the mRNA that is produced will continue being tranlsated by ribosomes for the rest of the cells life. mRNA never breaks down C) A ribosome will bind to an mRNA and will translate the sequence by reading one codon at a time and adding one amino acid to the peptide chain. It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protienarrow_forwardb. The coding sequence begins with AUG. What does AUG signify in terms of translation? The Standard Genetic Code When RNA polymerase initially transcribes the insulin gene into messenger RNA, two introns - totaling 966 additional nucleotides - are included in the precursor form of the insulin mRNA. These intron sequences are removed from the mRNA in a splicing reaction as the mRNA is being transported out of the nucleus of the cell. You might want to discuss why almost all eukaryotic genes contain introns. 3' 3'- Val 35 (V) Ala (A) G Arg (R) A Ser (S) Lys (K) Asp (D) Glu 0 이 Phe (F) Leu (L) Ser (S) CODOCCAGUCAGUCAGUCAGUC C G A C G A S%vcS\¢ Asn (N) G Thr E A GU C GU AC CUG ACUGACUGAC Met (M) Q A A G Tyr 35 UTO.
