Given that a pair of homologous genes are expressed in a bacterial and a vertebrate cell at the same rate of transcription (bp transcribed/second) and at the same rate of translation (amino acids translated/second), provide three reasons why the bacterial forms of the 9 might be expressed at a much faster rate after gene activation.

Expert Solution

In bacteria, translation starts soon after the transcription whereas in the vertebrate cell, translation starts after the completion of transcription.

Site of transcription and translation in bacteria is cytoplasm whereas in the vertebrate cells transcription occurs in nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm. So the time taken by the vertebrate cells is saved by the bacteria.

Gene of vertebrate consists of exons and introns. Exons are the coding region and introns are present between the exons. After transcription, all the introns are removed and exons are joined together. bacterial gene does not have any introns. So bacteria save the time that is required to remove introns.

Describe how genes are expressed into proteins by the cell

Barnase is a bacterial protein that is lethal to the cell unless it is expressed with...

Barnase is a bacterial protein that is lethal to the cell unless it is expressed with its inhibitor barstar. Barstar must bind to barnase very quickly before barnase kills the cell that made it. Therefore, barnase and barstar use electrostatic attraction to find each other quickly (Schreiber and Fersht, 1996). a) At neutral pH, barnase has a charge +1e and barstar has a charge −6e. Calculate the magnitude of the force between the two molecules if they are 8 nm...

Given: bicoid genes are maternal genes; kruppel genes are gap genes, even-skipped genes are pair rule genes, gooseberry genes are gooseberry. Predict the effect of scenarios below on expression levels of each of these gene classes in the embryo described (will expression increase, decrease, or be unaffected?) and explain the reason for your prediction. a. a fly embryo has a mutation that blocks expression of the kruppel gene b. a fly embryo has a mutation that blocks expression of the...

Explain the principle of “differential gene expression” and how different genes are expressed in different cell types. Describe in detail the two main mechanisms of the transcriptional regulation of gene expression. If you were going to “design” a transcription factor with an unlimited number of protein domains, how would you design this transcription factor so that it could take care of all of the transciptional regulation/expression of the muscle gene myoD.

Imagine a mutated bacterial cell that never expresses the lac genes, even under the conditions where they would normally be expressed. Which of the following mutations would explain this phenotype/ The lac repressor is mutated so that it cannot bind to the operator The operator is mutated so that it cannot bind to the lac repressor The promoter is mutated to be more like the consensus sequence CRP is mutated so that it cannot bind to the CRP response element

Do homologous chromosomes have the same number of genes? Are homologous chromosomes identical in every way? Explain. Give an example of a haploid cell in a human. Give an example of a diploid cell in a human. How does synapsis lead to the variation of genetic information? Describe how independent assortment can lead to differences in gamete genetic composition. Please type the answer. Don't write on the paper, type the answer here

Which of the following is true about the two members of a homologous pair? A. they are identical DNA molecules B. they form the two sides of one double helix; C. they separate from one another during meiosis II. D. they contain the same gene loci in the same order E. two of these are true.

The protein REST is a transcription factor that repressesthe expression of neuronal genes (genes only expressed in neurons). Predict whether REST would be found bound to the promoter of each gene in the designated tissue (think about whether they are expressed in each tissue). Write a “+” for located at the promoter and a “-“ for not located at the promoter. Brain Muscle Nav HK1 (hexokinase) RPL1 (ribosome protein) Kv
