Chapter 9, Problem 10QP

The pre-mRNA transcript and protein made by several mutant genes were examined. The results are given below. Determine where in the gene a likely mutation lies: the promoter region, exon, intron, cap on mRNA, or ribosome binding site.

  1. a. normal-length transcript, normal-length nonfunctional protein
  2. b. normal-length transcript, no protein made
  3. c. normal-length transcript, normal-length mRNA, short nonfunctional protein
  4. d. normal-length transcript, longer mRNA, shorter nonfunctional protein
  5. e. transcript never made

Below is a graphical representation of eukaryotic precursor mRNA.                                    A. Outline each modification that must happen to get a mature m-RNA.                              B. How does the absence of introns in prokaryotic genes affect prokaryotic gene expression?                   C. How will gene expression be affected if all of the spliceosomes are  removed  from the bacteria sample? Explain.
Arrange the statements in their proper order by writing the corresponding letter (e.g. A) for each statement in the space provided below. A. The single-stranded RNA would complement the target RNA. B. Gene expression is inactivated once the mRNA is no longer accessible for translation. C. The risk-induced silencing complex which is composed of RNA and protein subunits is formed. D. Double-stranded, non-coding RNA is cleaved by Dicer. E. The mRNA can be cleaved or remain bound by the RISC. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The following is a DNA sequence of gene Z. The underlined sequence represents the promoter for gene Z and the underlined and italicized sequence encodes the gene Z ribosome binding (RBS) site. Transcription begins at and includes the T/A base pair at position 60 (bold).   a. What are the nucleotides of the mRNA from gene Z?b. What are the amino acids encoded by gene Z?
