Document Summary

Dispersive neither parental molecule remains in tact; both chains of each replicated double helix contain old and new segments. 1958 meselson and stahl: bacteria was grown for several generations in an n15 (heavy) medium. The heavy isotope, n15 has one more neutron in its nucleus than the normal. N14 isotope: the heavy isotope was incorporated into the nitrogenous bases of dna, resulting in the entire dna being labeled with n15, after transferring the bacteria into a medium containing light n14 isotopes, the new. Dna polymerase is the primary enzymes of dna replication. Dna of different densities separated into bands, with the densest dna settling closer to the bottom of the tube. During replication, complimentary polynucleotides chains are assembled from individual deoxyribonucleotides by enzymes known as dna polymerase. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are the substrates for the polymerization reaction catalyzed by. Dna polymerase catalyzes the assembly of a new dna strand that is complimentary to the template strand.

Question 5

In the table below, predict (yes or no) whether or not the E. coli lac operon will be transcriptionally active in the presence or absence of glucose or lactose as indicated and respond to questions "a" and "b."

Lactose	Glucose	Lac expression?
No	Yes
Yes	Yes
Yes	No

Explain each of your answers in terms of the molecular mechanisms that are known to underlie the regulation of the lac operon. Which mechanism is considered to be negative control and which is considered to be positive control? Explain.

a.) Use the genetic code table to deduce the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the mRNA shown here:

5âAUGAUUGGAGGUUUGAUCGGGCAAUAGGGGUUUCAGUAAAUG3â

b.) Explain how the above sequence in "a" illustrates that redundancy of the genetic code.

c.) Explain what would happen if a mutational event caused the underlined "G" to be changed to a "U"? What is the name for this kind of mutation?
