1.Both Poly A site choice and alternative splicing are used to produce two different hormones Calcitonin and CGRP. What is this Poly A directing site? State the mechanism of addition of the poly A tail.
A.
5’-AAACGTGC-3’; the transcript is cleaved 10-30 bases downstream of the poly A site and then a polyadenylate polymerase adds a poly A tail
B.
5’-AAACGTGC-3’; the transcript is cleaved 10-30 bases downstream of the poly A site and then the enzyme telomerase adds a poly A tail
C.
5’-UAAUUU-3’; the transcript is cleaved 100 bases downstream of the poly A site and then the enzyme polynucleotide kinase adds a poly A tail
D.
5’-AAUAAA-3’; the transcript is cleaved 10-30 bases downstream of the poly A site and then the enzyme polynucleotide kinase adds a poly A tail
E.
5’-AAUAAA-3’; the transcript is cleaved 10-30 bases downstream of the poly A site and then a polyadenylate polymerase adds a poly A tail

2. At what stage is the 5’ cap added to the newly-made primary transcripts? (Before or after splicing? Before or after the formation of the poly A tail?). Draw the structure of the 5’-cap in your scrapbook and state what bonds link the cap to the rest of the RNA.
A.
The 5’ cap is formed after splicing, but before the poly A tail formation; a 5’5’ tri-phosphodiester bond
B.
The 5’ cap is formed before splicing and before the poly A tail formation; a 5’5’ tri-phosphodiester bond
C.
The 5’ cap is formed before splicing and before the poly A tail formation; a 5’5’ monophosphodiester bond
D.
The 5’ cap is formed before splicing and before the poly A tail formation; a 5’3’ monophosphoester bond
E.
The 5’ cap is formed after splicing and after poly A tail formation; a 5’5’ tri-phosphodiester bond

3. Draw the structures of AZT and DDI in your scrapbook and identify the structural feature in each that enables it to work in slowing down the multiplication of the AIDS virus?
A.
Containing an azide group at 3’-position, AZT generates a nitrene that covalently links to and inactivates the AIDS virus reverse transcriptase, but DDI, which contains a hydrogen atom at the 3’ position binds non-covalently to and inactivates the reverse transcriptase
B.
Containing and azido instead of a hydroxy group at the 3’ position, AZT and DDI cannot extend the DNA chain through a 3’5’ phosphodiester bond. AZT binds to AIDS virus reverse transcriptase more strongly than dNTPs
C.
Containing an azido instead of a hydroxy group at the 2’ position, AZT and DDI cannot extend the DNA chain through a 2’3’ phosphodiester bond. AZT binds to AIDS virus reverse transcriptase more strongly than dNTPs
D.
Both AZT and DDI share structural features that stimulate autophagy in the host cells that causes degradation of the AIDS virus
E.
As nucleotide mimetics, they stimulate the host cell RNA polymerase to produce specific gene products that function to expel the AIDS viral DNA before formation of the packaged virus

b)    When looking at the personal capabilities, a typical individual from a hunter-gatherer society is much stronger than an individual from a farming society. Why in the human history it was the case that the farmers eliminated the hunter-gatherers, but not the other way around? Explain. (3 points)

1.) How can we tell if the inlA and inlB genes are expressed constructively or are induced in the presence of the human receptors?

2.) Might these genes be normally expressed at low levels, but undergo increased transcription once in contact with intestinal epithelial cells? how could this be determined?

Two cannons are mounted as shown in the drawing and rigged to fire simultaneously. They are used in a circus act in which two clowns serve as human cannonballs. The clowns are fired toward each other and collide at a height of 0.95 m above the muzzles of the cannons. Clown A is launched at ?A = 76.0

Let's say there is a group of five receptors (A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) that are expressed in various types of tissues on the human body. But the A1 receptor, is the only family expressed in 1 type of cell. How does the A1 receptor but not the other A receptors are expressed on the cell?

What does Pollan mean when he writes that the meal he created himself and the McDon- ald’s meal are at “the far extreme ends of the spectrum of human eating” and that “the pleasures of one are based on a nearly per- fect knowledge; the pleasures of the other on an equally perfect ignorance”?
