Document Summary

Transcript mature mrna that is ready to be translated: translation occurs in the cytoplasm, mature rna (a string of nucleotides) gets turned into a polypeptide chain (string of amino acids) Open reading frame there is one sentence per mrna and it can be very long, and this is referred to as the open reading frame. Termination the end of the open reading frame is marked by one of the following termination codons: uaa, uag, uga. Mrna mature rna that has gone through post-transcriptional modifications. Start codon aug: the first word in the sentence. Anticodon triplet of three base pairs that corresponds with an amino acid. Kozak sequence the initiation codon is often in a kozak sequence (annaugg) Polypeptide chain of amino acids that is the product of translation. Codons set of three ribonucleotides that encodes for an amino acid: introns can split a codon, but this acts like a page break and does affect reading the word.

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"

	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

Transcription of a gene has just completed. What are the next steps (in the correct order) to complete expression of that gene?

RNA polymerase makes a copy of DNA into mRNA.

mRNA is translated in the nucleus and ribosomal RNA moves into the cytoplasm.

Gene expression is completed after transcription.

mRNA moves into the cytoplasm and with tRNA they interact to form protein

Translation machinery moves into the nucleus and mRNA is translated into protein.

How is it that a mutation in DNA stored inside the nucleus of a cell can cause a disease affecting multiple organs?

This remains an unanswered question in science that scientists are still trying to figure out.

The mutated DNA is expressed in multiple cells through the process of transcription and translation, and the altered protein causes the disease wherever the DNA was expressed.

The mutated DNA is expressed in one cell and the altered protein travels to multiple organs to cause disease.

The mutated DNA is expressed and the mRNA takes the mutated information to other cells where the altered protein is made to cause disease in that organ.
