Document Summary

Genome = the complete genetic information of an organism. Gene = a sequence of nucleotides that codes for one or more biological product(s) like proteins or trna/rrna (non-proteins) Gene expression = the synthesis of the biological product. When synthetized, the protein encoded by the gene is expressed : gene: two complementary strands of dna with complementary nucleotides (genotype = all genes) Transcription leads to: mrna: one strand of rna note that uracil replaces thymine. Translation leads to: protein: made of amino acids linked together. For prokaryotes, transcription is the process from dna to mrna and occurs in cytosol. For eukaryotes, transcription is the process from dna to pre-mrna, followed by rna processing from pre-mrna to mature mrna. Translation or protein synthesis is mrna to protein/polypeptide. For prokaryotes, translation happens after transcription in the cytosol (no nucleus). For eukaryotes, after transcription, mature mrna is exported from the nucleus to the cytosol through the nuclear pore.

Suppose that the pre-mRNA transcript from a eukaryotic gene is 30,000 nucleotides long, and the gene codes for a sequence of 300 amino acids. What is the best explanation for the relationship between these numbers?

Question 19 options:

	only the first 900 nucleotides of the pre-mRNA transcript are translated
	it takes 100 nucleotides to specify a single amino acid
	300 of the nucleotides in the transcript are important, and the rest are "junk"
	only the last 900 nucleotides of the pre-mRNA transcript are translated
	large portions of pre-mRNA transcripts are cut out during RNA processing

Suppose an individual is born into a population with a novel mutation. Is the new mutation an evolutionary change, and why?

Question 20 options:

	no, because it is not a big enough change to count
	yes, because new mutations are always adaptive
	yes, because the appearance of a new genetic variant is a genetic change in a population
	no, because not enough individuals have the mutation for it to matter
	no, because most mutations are not adaptive

RNA has many different roles in gene expression. Check all thatapply.

mRNA defines the polypeptide to be formed

DNA defines the polypeptide to be formed

rRNA, along with proteins, forms the ribosome

mRNA delivers the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome

tRNA delivers the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome

Translation is appropriately named because the process transfersthe code from DNA to RNA, though in complementary fashion.

True

False

The template strand is to the sense strand as the coding strandis to the antisense strand.

True

False

The phenomenon symbolized by DNA â RNA â Protein is referred toas the Central Dogma because it is true for all organisms.

True

False

The reading frame refers to the selection of the correct tripletof nucleotides by selecting the correct beginning point. If thebeginning point is wrong, all nucleotides will be clustered intothe wrong codons.

True
