Expert Solution

Answer- The nucleic acid sequences which actually code of amino acids are called mRNA. They consist of the following parts:-

a. Codons- These are groups of 3 nucleotide bases which code for amino acids according to the codon the chart

c. Poly A tail- This is present in a mature mRNA, which is added to hnRNA during the process of Tailing, wherein adenylate residues (200-300) are added to the 3' end in a template independent manner.

The Promoter region is actually present on DNA strands, and not on RNA; it's actually a sequence of DNA to which the initiation factor of an mRNA binds to initiate transcription.

In studying a particular bio-molecule (a protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, or lipid) in the laboratory, the biochemist first needs to separate it from other biomolecules in the sample—that is, to purify it. Specific puri-fication techniques are described later in the book. However, by looking at the monomeric subunits of a biomolecule, you should have some ideas about the characteristics of the mole-cule that would allow you to separate it from other molecules. For example, how would you separate (a) amino...
