You observe a piece of mRNA. A few minutes later you see this mRNA has now been converted into DNA. How is this possible? Explain the protein responsible to do this. Also, what other sequences can this protein convert? What can this help researchers determine?
Homework Answers
When a piece of mRNA changes to DNA, the process is known as reverse transcription. The concerned enzyme or protein is known as reverse transcriptase. The protein can only act on mRNA and change it into DNA.
This protein is mainly found in viruses, which helps the viral RNA to convert first into proviral DNA and then finally this gets incorporated into host where it replicates by using the host replication machinery. This protein helps in the identification of viruses.
Hope it helps, Good luck !!!

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...

C++: Translating mRNA sequence help
Homework Description Codon 1 You are working in a bioinformatics lab studying messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences. mRNA is a sequence of the nucleotide bases (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil) that conveys information stored in DNA to Ribosomes for translation into proteins. The bases in the sequences are denoted by the first letters of the nucleotide bases (e.g. A, C, G, and U). A sequence of mRNA is made up of hundres to thousands of nucleotide...

What control elements regulate expression of the mPGES-1 gene? The promoter of a gene includes the DNA immediately upstream of the transcription start site, but expression of the gene can also be affected by control elements. These can be thousands of base pairs upstream of the promoter, grouped in an enhancer. Because the distance and spacing of these control elements make them difficult to identify, scientists begin by deleting sections of DNA that contain possible control elements and measuring the...
