Document Summary

Dna repair mechanisms: bacteria make dna at a very excessive, rapid rate, their error in replication is lower, prokaryotes do not have dna repair mechanisms, with eukaryotes, every time a cell divides, about 60,000 mutations occur. Things that can happen during dna repair. Mutation: any change in a dna sequence. This can occur in a dna replication process. Dna polymerase correct any errors during the replication process. As the new bases are added to the growing strand, dna polymerase will proofread the dna making sure that the correct base was added. If it is not the correct base, the dna is removed and the dna polymerase will try again: mismatch repair. Scan and repair errors just after replication. After dna is synthesized, there is an enzyme complex that checks for. This process can differentiate between new and old strands of dna, because the old strands are methylated-add a methyl group to the cytosine (c)

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.

There is none.
