b) If isoleucine is coded for by three codons. and If the cellhas only one isoleucyl tRNA , what anticodon would it contain?
c) Leucine is coded for by six codons . what is the smallesttRNAs that can decode for leuine?
d) and if mRNA was composed of six different nucleotides howshourt could a codon be then?

Given the wobble rules, what is the fewest number of tRNAs necessary to insert the amino acid Leu into a peptide, and what is the anticodon for each tRNA? There are six codons that specify Leu: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG. Keep in mind all sequences in this question are written 5' to 3' A) two, with anticodons IAA and GAG B) two, with anticodons UAA and IAG C)three, with anticodons IAA, GAG, and UAG D) three, with anticodons UAA, GAG, and UAG E)three, with anticodons UAA, IAG, and UAG

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 |
Part B
Think about the DNA coding sequence of a gene. If an A were swapped for a T, what kind of mutation could it cause and why?
a) It could cause a frameshift nonsense or frameshift missense mutation because it would change the reading frame of the codon triplet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
b) It could cause a silent, missense, or nonsense mutation because those are the types that can be caused by a nucleotide-pair substitution like this one. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
c) It could cause a nonsense mutation because the sequence would no longer be the same, so the protein would be shorter and non-functional. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
d) It could cause a silent mutation because A and T are complementary to each other so it is not really a substitution mutation. Part C Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation in the same protein?
