Question

1. a)Using the Short Sequence match for the 3’ poly A site (AATAAA) one of the two matches (figure below) is likely to be the 3’ transcription termination signal for the tra gene? What is your evidence? (Hint: remember which strand contains the tra gene.)

b) What other evidence from the genome browser indicates that this is the 3’ poly A tail signal? (Hint: look at the peak and valleys)

Explanation / Answer

There are Three stop codons TAA,TGA, TAG. these sequence contain TAA sequence ,which play as a stop codon in case of TRA gene expression.

Both squence are RNA sequence of D.melanogaster adult male. upstrem +10,818 contains TAAA sequence, which indicates its may be a poly A tail signal.
