1. Silent mutation = A change in the
DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid sequence
These mutations do not alter the protein function
Ex: GGG ----> GGU: Both codons specify the same amino acid,
Glycine.
2. Promoter = Binding site for the RNA polymerase to initiate
transcription
It is located upstream to the transcription start site
i.e. 5'-end of the coding strand (or) 3'-end of the template
strand
toring session in progress A silent mutation would cause: Where are promoters usually located?
A silent mutation would cause: O A change in the conformation of a protein The inhibition of transcription 0 The inhibition of translation No change in the amino acid sequence of a protein
1. In a "silent" mutation A) The codon that mutates does not cause a change in the amino acid specified B) The codon that mutates causes change in the amino acid specified C) The codon that mutates cause a stop codon to occur instead of the placement of an amino acid D) The mutation does not occur in a codon E) The mutation is not in DNA 2. In a "nonsense" mutation A) The codon that mutates does not cause...
Muscles located on the more anterior sides of the body usually cause _____________ while muscles on the posterior sides of the body usually cause ____________. Similarly, muscles located laterally to the joint they move usually cause ____________ while muscles located medially to the joints they move usually cause _____________.
Explain how the mutation would cause the clinical manifestations of sickle cell anemia?
QUESTION 13 Based on Figure 9-24, can you predict the position of a mutation that would produce an active protein that was not directed out of the cell for secretion? ER lumen Signal sequence Cytosol ER membrane 2015 A mutation in the NLS would cause a normally secreted protein to stay inside the cell. A mutation in the 3' UTR would produce an active but improperly secreted protein. A mutation in the ribosome would produce an active but improperly located...
Under the Microscope 1. Which microbes usually cause gas gangrene? 2. How did the patient's diabetes impact his lower Jamal recently started moonlighting at a wound care center run by the hospital where he works as a CST. He realized that the 70-year-old diabetic patient he was helping prepare for hyperbaric oxygen therapy was the same patient who had recently undergone a below-knee amputation (BKA) for gas gangrene. Jamal was the first scrub. extremity prior to surgery? to amputation? therapy...
Comparing lakes located near the equator to lakes in Canada, where would we expect more negative δ18O values? Does the latitude affect the δ18O values? Please explain why.
1. Rank the following markets from that where price controls would cause the greatest disequilibrium between supply and demand down to those where controls would cause the smallest disequilibrium. A. 4 B. 1 C. 3 D. 2 - Rice in a poor country (elasticity of demand low; elasticity of supply low) - Airline travel in a rich country (elasticity of demand high; elasticity of supply high) - Veterinary services (elasticity of demand medium, elasticity of supply low) - Fashion (elasticity...

Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...
