Application questions
1. Can a protein be translated if a cell is defective for RNA polymerase? Why or why not?
2. What would happen if the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase specific for a tRNA carrying lysine were missing during translation? How would this deficiency affect transcription?
3. What sequences are in DNA that are not found in the processed mRNA?
4. What are the sequences that are in processed mRNA that are translated into polypeptide?

Expert Solution

A. The protein encoded in the DNA can't be translated if there will be no transcription. The transcription requires the RNA polymerase enzyme which synthesizes the RNA by reading the DNA template. After the RNA synthesis the protein synthesis starts. But due to defective RNA polymerase enzyme the further processes after the replication can't take place.

B. If there will be loss of any amino acyl tRNA synthetase during the process of translation, the attachment of the amino acid contained by the enzyme, to the particular tRNA will not occur. But there is an anticodon available for that amino acid in the mRNA sequence. So the further attachment of amino acid will stop and the polypeptide will be detached.

C. Introns are the sequences which are not found in the processed mRNA but are present in DNA and the pre mRNA. These are non essential regions which are removed during the splicing.

D. The exons are the part of RNA which are present after the processing. During splicing or processing the introns are removed and the exons are binded adjacently. These are the sequences which are translated.

Describe the action of RNA polymerase inside a cell. Could a RNA virus use a human host cell’s RNA polymerase to make copies of viral RNA from a viral RNA template? Why or why not?

1. If the proofreading mechanism of the DNA Polymerase fails, what else can the cell do to fix mistakes? 2. A cell, not during the process of DNA replication, has 2 nucleotides (both T's) that formed a dimer in a single strand. The two dimerized nucleotides aren't base-pairing to the complementary strand. a) What do you think caused this to occur? b) what would normally happen in this situation? C) What if the enzyme, Nuclease, was inactivated in that cell.....

DNA polymerase can sometimes make mistakes. When this is detected the cell cycle halts and works on repairing the mistakes. List two genes that, when their function is lost, would not allow cells to halt their cell cycle. Please explain in a sentence or two why the loss of function mutations in each gene would have this effect.?

Transcription is the process of RNA synthesis. Translation is the cytoplasmic process of protein synthesis. Both processes can be divided into three stages, Initiation, Elongation, and Termination. For each of the events listed below write which process it occurs in (either transcription or translation) and in which stage the event occurs (initiation, elongation, termination). a. Peptidyl transferase moves the peptide from the transfer RNA in the peptidyl site to the transfer RNA in the amino acyl site. b. RNA polymerase binds to the...
