Answer:
RNA is produced in the cell as a result of transcription of DNA. The resulting RNA molecule can take part in translation and thus is said to be a coding RNA.
However, certain RNA molecules are not translated into proteins, and such RNA molecules are called non-coding RNA. Examples of non-coding RNA include miRNA, tRNA, rRNA, riboswitch, ribozymes, etc.
Non-coding RNA molecules can thus be defined as those RNA molecules which do not code for any protein. They perform regulatory functions and are widely used in metagenomics.
(Metagenomics is the study of genomes of a group of microorganisms found in an environmental sample, like soil.)
RNA may be divided into coding RNA and non-coding RNA. Match each term in Column I to the correct group in Column II. Options from Column II can be used more than once. And please explain their roles in each item in column I. Column I: mRNA rRNA tRNA transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) small nuclear RNA (snRNA) small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) small cytoplasmic RNA (scRNA) siRNA (short interfering RNA) miRNA (microRNA) long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Column II coding RNA non-coding RNA
2.Base changes in which of the following can have evolutionary sequences? -Non-coding RNA -mRNA -Promoter sequences -Protein coding gene -Cis-regulatory module
3) With reference to nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), answer the following questions: 1) what are the coding and non-coding regions of pre-mRNA (non-functional mRNA) called (1/2 point each); ii) name the enzyme that splices out non-coding regions of pre- mRNA (1/2 point), iii) name the enzyme that joins coding regions to generate mature- mRNA (functional mRNA) (1/2 point); iv) name the major enzyme (1/2 point) involved in the "Polymerase Chain Reaction" and what is the major application of PCR (1/2 point);...
Select one coding/classifying schemes that is commonly used in healthcare and write a short description with an example explaining how it will help interoperability, in not less than 300 words.
1. Using the following terms, describe the process of transcription a. Template strand, non-template/coding strand, DNA, RNA, RNA polymerase, 3 5, 5 3', uracil, promoter, termination sequence, enhancer, nucleus, cytoplasm. What process often follows transcription? How is the genetic code used in this process ?
. What is thought to be the purpose of the non-coding regions of DNA?
Question 3 Which of the following statements about RNA splicing is false? Small RNA molecules in the nucleus participate in the splicing reactions necessary for the removal of introns. Splicing occurs after the cap has been added to the end of the mRNA Formation of the lariat intermediate is dependent on the 3' OH. Splicing can remove coding as well as non-coding sequence.
You will not perform this experiment this week, but combustion analysis is a commonly used technique when identifying hydrocarbons. Based on your knowledge of the reactivity of the different types of hydrocarbons, articulate an argument for using this technique for this determination.
What do we know about non-coding DNA sequences?
The process of DNA transcription: produces single stranded RNA complementary to the coding strand. requires RNA polymerase. is discontinuous. produces double stranded DNA. requires DNA polymerase III. Among the significant sites that many eukaryotic promoters contain is: a TATAAT box near –10. a TATA site near –30 to –100. a CATA site at the transcription start site. a Pribnow box. the Shine-Dalgarno sequence.
