12. What is the 5’ cap, and what does it do? What happens if the
3’ polyA tail is removed from an mRNA molecule? Why would an
endonuclease cleavage site in the 3’UTR of an mRNA be highly
conserved? Where does translation initiate? What causes termination
of translation?
13. Rate the following in terms of stability (energy level): a
partially folded protein, a properly folded protein (native state),
a partially misfolded protein, amyloid fibrils.
