BIMM 100 Chapter Notes - Chapter BIMM 100: Transposase, Retrotransposon, Coding Region
Document Summary
Bimm100 problem set 4 (with keys: 45% of our genome is mobile elements, which come in two flavors: dna transposons and retrotransposons. Below is shown the steps in transposition of. Is10, with dna intermediates/products numbered [1-4]: if is10 transposition was trying to take place in the absence of the activities listed below, for each indicate which dna intermediate or product would accumulate [1, 2, 3, or 4]: Restriction enzyme: 4: when transposition occurs into the promoter, 5" utr, coding region or 3"utr of an important protein-coding gene, it can create a problem for the cell. For each of these possible occurrences, indicate whether the transposition is likely. [yes/no] to alter the amino acid sequence of the protein produced by the affected gene. You have isolated a eukaryotic organism that has different telomeres than human and tetrahymena. Above is shown telomerase as it is about to start adding telomeres to the end of a chromosome in this eukaryote, after the last.
