Consider the following DNA sequence found on a different portion of the coding strand of Henry's CYP2C9 gene: TTACCGAGA a. What would be the sequence of the template strand on this portion of the gene? b. How many triplet codes does this DNA sequence contain? c. What would be the sequence of the mRNA after this sequence is transcribed?
Cell division stops until p53 binds to DNA and repairs the damage. C. p53 is an example of an oncogene, and its expression causes uncontrolled cell division. D. activation of p53 leads to inhibition of the S-phase cyclin-CDK complex. 6. All of the following statements correctly describe M-Cdk, EXCEPT: A. M-Cdk causes the cell to enter S phase and begin DNA replication.
RNA is a single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil bonded to the ribose. RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis and sometimes in the transmission of genetic information. RNA is synthesized from DNA when needed. Both of them are nucleic acids. And that is about the only similarity they share.
Information will always start with DNA then it will travel to the RNA and then the protein. This information flow will also be followed through the cell as it travels from the DNA in the nucleus, and the Cytoplasm, then to the Ribosomes and the Endoplasmic Reticulum, and finally to the Golgi
The first step in protein synthesis is the transcription of mRNA from a DNA gene in the nucleus. The other types of RNA have been synthesized using the DNA. The RNAs migrate from the nucleus into cytoplasm. The second step of protein synthesis is actually initiated by the AUG codon on mRNA. The AUG codon signals both the interaction of the ribosome with mRNA and also the tRNA with the anticodons UAC.
To confirm this idea, Marshall Nirenberg used a synthetic RNA containing only one kind of base. What question was his experiment attempting to answer? 8. Briefly describe Seymour Benzer’s experiment that answered the question: “Do mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene correlate with protein changes?” 9. Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei used mRNA made up of repeating uracil nucleotides in a cell free extract.
Explain how DNA replicates? What are some characteristics of the structure of DNA? Explain complementary base pairing. 15. Describe in detail the phases of mitosis.
Viruses even have genes thought to only exist in cellular organisms, yet lack emergent properties and complexity. Philip Bell and the author believe that the cell nucleus itself has a viral origin. He believes that the great difference between the nucleus in prokaryotic cells and those in eukaryotic cells cannot be adequately explained by the gradual evolution from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Instead the nucleus may have come from a large virus which made a permanent home inside prokaryotes. A gene very similar to that of a eukaryote which codes for a DNA polymerase is found inside of the virus T4, which infects bacteria, showing that this theory is possible.
Genetically inherited traits depend upon genes found in DNA (de-oxy ribose nucleic acid), the fundamental molecule of chromosomes. DNA carries the information that determines what physical and genetic characteristics can be found in organisms. It does not dictate all of an individual's characteristics, because many aspects of most species are shaped features of the environment in which they live. DNA codes for mRNA which binds with a molecule of transfer RNA in the ribosomes, this tRNA carries a corresponding amino acid, which is coded for by the mRNA. When the MRNA and tRNA bind the amino acid is deposited and binds with an adjacent amino acid forming a polypeptide chain and eventually (after modification by other organelles) forms a protein codes for proteins.
This connection is vible as a constriction during mitosis or meiosis. During anaphase in mitosis and anaphase II in meiosis the two sister chroamtids are pulled apart at the centromer. According to current definitions, each single chromatid is regarded as a own chromosome after separation of the chromatids during cell division. In most organisms chromosomes occur in pairs, the so-called
