List five (5) prokaryotic enzymes or proteins and their
corresponding eukaryotic enzymes or proteins that carry out the
same function during DNA replication. Provide the function for each
of the enzymes.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA's differ in that:ribosomal subunits have different percentages of rRNA to
proteinEukaryotes have a pre-mRNA that requires splicing to create the
functional transcriptProkaryotes have non-coding sequences that are removed during
RNA-transcript processingEukaryotes have ribosomes consisting of only one subunit.
Compare and contrast the prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes by
giving 5 similarities and 5 differences. Based on what you learned
about the endosymbiont theory predict three characteristics about
mitochondrial DNA.
7. In a mutant eukaryotic cell, the proteins involved in the
addition of the 5’ cap of mRNA have been inactivated. Explain if
this would affect the following and why it does (or doesn’t). a)
The export of the mRNA from the nucleus to the cytosol?
b) Assuming the mRNA is in the cytosol, would this affect its
translation?
The speed of DNA replication in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
DIFFERS because:
A.) prokaryotic cells don’t use a double helix structure to
store their nucleotides
B.) smaller genomes allow prokaryotes to rapidly copy their
chromosome and reproduce
C.) eukaryotes replicate their DNA from a single location along
the strand
D.) eukaryotic DNA is more accessible for DNA polymerase and
other replication-related proteins
List three common transport proteins found in vertebrate blood
and the compounds they carry. Are there any compounds that do not
require transport proteins in circulation? Why is this the
case?
