Question

Looking at the gene indicated in the figure below, identify the number of possible different starts looking at the coding potential map

Incorrect Question 5 0/2 pts Question5 Looking at the gene indicated in the figure below, identify the number of possible different starts looking at the coding potential map In this question, we throw a bit of a wrinkle at you. Up until this point, we have always read the gene from left to right (the start codon has been on the left and the stop codon has been on the right) much like we read text in a book from left to right. These are called FORWARD genes. To increase the amount of information that we pack in a genome, sometimes genes are read from right to left. These are called REVERSE genes. This gene is a REVERSE gene. How do you know? If you look at the thin black line in the center of the screen - this line represents the longest gene call see if you can find the stop codon (down tick) at the end of the line on the left side. There is also a start codon (uptick mark) right near the stop (down tick mark). You will see the potential start codons (upticks to the right of the stop codon) 37600 3 6 7

Answer 1

Answer 5) The thin black line represents the open reading frame and the upward ticks are the potential start sites. So based on the figure give we can se that the frame in total has 7 upward ticks which means 7 potential start sites.
