Answer #1

Generally, when we speak about the genomic of DNA, it consists of the CL2 gene and it is a single entity. Now, upon alternate splicing there are several mRNAs which are produced from the same genomic DNA. During the process of alternative splicing, it is a process of regulated gene expression and hence a single gene encodes for many proteins. Hence, there are particular exons for gene which are excluded within the mRNA gene frame and some are not. Upon doing a genomic and cDNA PCRs, if the mRNA underwent alternative splicing for the CL2 gene, it would produces gene fragments of different fragment length in the PCR.

    You characterize the sequence of a full-length cDNA and the corresponding genomic DNA for a particular intron-containing gene from mouse cells. When you align them to each other using a computer program, the exons of the cDNA align perfectly in some regions with pieces of the genomic DNA, whereas other exons appear to have a small number of specific nucleotide differences compared to the genomic DNA. Assume this genomic DNA and cDNA come from the same individual, and there are...

    A map is shown below for a gene that uses alternative splicing. 5 splice sites are indicated with a 5, while 3 splice sites are indicated with a 3. Boxes below the gene are used to represent the presence of sequence elements found in the pre-mRNA for this gene. Splicing enhancers are shown as filled boxes, while splicing silencers are shown as stippled boxes. The enhancers and silencers only act on the splice site that they overlap (eg., the stippled...

    Genes in eukaryotes are often organized into exons and intrans, which require splicing to produce an mRNA that can be translated. The gene organization is the order of the DNA segments that comprise the gene starting with the promoter, the first exon, the first intron, the second exon, and so on. The interspersed intrans can make gene identification difficult in eukaryotesparticularly in higher eukaryotes with many introns and alternative spliced mRNAs. Prediction of many genes and their organization has been...

    Question 3 3 pts What makes GFP fusion proteins more useful than western blotting when studying expression of a specific gene during development? Select all correct. Western blotting requires you to kill the cells, but GFP fusions let you see the protein in living cells Western blotting lacks the spatial and temporal information that you can get GFP fusion proteins Western blotting detects mRNA, not protein. Western blotting amplifies the amount of total protein present, which prevents you from understanding...
