The poly A tail is the component which determines the half life of the mRNA transcript.The poly A tail is the adenine nucleotide which is added to the 3' end of the mRNA in the nucleus. It helps to stabilize the mRNA during the transport of mRNA from nucleus to cytoplasm. It is also involved in binding of the proteins involved in translation.
which component determines how long an mRNA transcript remains in a cell (the half-life of the...
Question 14 (2 points): Processing of a primary mRNA transcript in a eukaryotic cell DOES NOT involve: A. Excision of non-coding sequences (introns). B. Addition of the 7-methylguanosine cap at the 5'-end. C. Charging of an amino acid residue to the CCA-end. D. Joining of coding sequences (exons). E. Attachment of a long poly(A) sequence at the 3'-end.
which type of RNA is responsible for bringing the correct amino acids to the mRNA transcript
Question 2: Transcription, RNA Processing and Translation A particular gene codes for a mature mRNA transcript containing 1200 bases, which is translated into a protein containing 300 amino acids. A. How long is the coding sequence in this mRNA and how many nucleotides are in the UTRs? For the purposes of this question we are ignoring the G’ cap and the polyA tail. B. A mutant form of the gene created by one nucleotide being changed to another nucleotide also...
1.A The mRNA sequence below is the full length of the mature mRNA transcript. On the sequence, the 5'cap is indicated by (5'). The poly (A) tail is not shown. This transcript arrives at a ribosome. Determine the anticodon sequence for the first three tRNA used to make the polypeptide. Label the 5’and 3’ends on the tRNAs. 5' AAUCGAUGUAAUCCGCAUC 3' B. Hydrolysis reactions They do so by link monomers to form a polymer; adding a water molecule remove monomers from...
The half life of cobalt 60 is 5.3 years. How long will it take a 4.8g sample of Co60 to decay until only 1.6g of Co60 remains in the sample?
Sr-90 has a half-life of 29.1 years. How long will it take for the activity of a Sr-90 sample to decay from 5.3 times 10^3 dpm (disintegrations per minute) to 3 times 10^2 dpm? The half-life of a radioisotope is 3 d. What percent remains after 1 week?
3. During translation, explain how the cell determines where to start and stop the protein synthesis when an mRNA template is given
