put the following processes of protein synthesis translation steps in the correct order :
A- the next aa2-tRNA attach to the second codon on mRNA located in A site
B- then large ribosomal subunit binds the small ribosomal subunit forming an active ribosome
C- the ribosome breaks down and the mRNA dissociates and protein is released
D- the ribosome small subunit binding to the mRNA
F- the first amino acid moves to exit site and leaves the ribosome
G- ribosome moves on mRNA and by 1 codon this process is called translocation
H- the tRNA is charging with amino acid at 3' OH end
i - the aa1-tRNA carries the anticodon attaches directly with mRNA in the start codon located in P site

1. Attenuation is a regulatory mechanism that has been well
studied in the E. coli trp operon, involved in tryptophan
biosynthesis. Which of the following accurately describes
attenuation?
A: The goal of attenuation is to suppress the expression of
biosynthetic enzymes when the end product of the pathway is
available.
B: The attenuator is a stem loop structure at the 5´ end of the
mRNA transcript that resembles the structure of the
factor-independent termination sequence.
C: When tryptophan levels are low, the trp operon transcript is
attenuated before the operon's structural genes are
transcribed.
D: Attenuation allows fine-tuning of the levels of mRNA transcript
from the trp operon in response to small changes in the
availability of tryptophan.
E: The trpL mRNA contains a "stall" sequence for the ribosome that
includes two adjacent trp codons.

2. Which of the following are true statements concerning the
similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA
replication:
A: Prokaryotes use DNA polymerase III as the primary replicative
enzyme, whereas eukaryotes use DNA polymerase I.
B: Most prokaryotes replicate a single chromosome from a single
origin of replication, whereas eukaryotes have thousands of origins
of replication spread over multiple chromosomes.
C: In eukaryotes, DNA replication is continuous, whereas
prokaryotes replicate their DNA discontinuously in a process that
generates Okazaki fragments.
D: Eukaryotic DNA replication is more complex than prokaryotic
replication, because eukaryotes must dissociate and replicate
chromatin as part of the process.
E: A homodimer of DNA polymerase III catalyzes the replication of
both leading and lagging strands in prokaryotes, whereas two
different DNA polymerases are required to replicate the leading and
lagging strands in eukaryotes.

3. Ammonia is toxic and must be converted to urea in order to be
excreted. The following statements describe the process:
A: ammonia is transported into the liver as either alanine or
glutamine.
B: transamination is a key step in the release of ammonia from
glutamine.
C: urea is formed and excreted primarily by the kidneys.
D: alanine carries ammonia waste from muscle to the liver; once in
the liver, alanine is converted via pyruvate to glucose, which may
be returned to the muscle.
E: carbamoyl phosphate is a key intermediate in the conversion of
ammonia to urea.
F: urea is ultimately formed by hydrolysis from ornithine

In corn, the following allele pairs are on chromosome 9: colored (C) vs. white (c) aleurone color; starchy (Wx) vs. waxy (wx) endosperm; and full (Sh) vs. shrunken (sh) endosperm. F1 plants heterozygous for all three alleles were test crossed; the resulting progeny had the following phenotypic ratios:
colored, waxy, shrunken 116
colored, starchy, full 601
colored, starchy, shrunken 2538
white, starchy, shrunken 4
white, starchy, full 113
white, waxy, full 2708
white, waxy, shrunken 626

There are two ways to study receptor responsiveness in cultured cell lines: use a cell line that naturally expresses the receptor of interest; and transfect a cell line with a gene for the receptor you are interested in in order to ensure large numbers of this receptor. Taking into consideration what you know about G protein-coupled receptors and about measurement in pharmacology, briefly discuss what the possible advantage(s) and disadvantage(s) might be of each of these approaches.

Addison's disease develops when the adrenal cortex doesn't secrete enough mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young man. Before he started treatment with hormone replacement therapy, he was hypoglycemic and lost weight. Which missing hormone was responsible for his weight loss? How might Addison's disease have affected his blood pressure?
