Question

inear plasmid contains only two genes, which are 22. Draw a two d in opposite directions, each one from the 16- tran scrward the center of the plasmid. Draw diagrams of 5) and mRNA of the pro Problem 1 duce ther end, toward the asmid DNA, showing the 5' and 3' ends of the a. the pl nucleotide strands the template strand for each gene. e. the positions of the transcription initiation sites d. the transcripts, showing the 5' and 3' ends. there similarities between the DNA replication bub- 17 Are and the transcription bubbles found in eukaryotes?. a. in th u in t d. in 24. Wha tenc pro Explain Which of the following statements are true about eukary 18. otic mRNA? The sigma factor is essential for the correct initiation of transcription. h, Processing of the nascent mRNA may begin before its transcription is complete. c. Processing takes place in the cytoplasm. d. Termination is accomplished by the use of a hairpin loop or the use of the rho factor. e. Many RNAs can be transcribed simultaneously from one DNA template. bi 26. 19. A researcher was mutating prokaryotic cells by inserting C 2 segments of DNA. In this way, she made the following mutation Original Mutant TTGACAT 15 to 17 bp TATAAT TATAAT 15 to 17 bp TTGACAT a. What does this sequence represent? b. What do you predict will be the effect of such a mutation? Explai in Chapter in your genetic engineer's cap and 20. You will learn m e about genetic engineering

Explanation / Answer

18. a , d and e are correct statements about eukaryotic mRNA i.e. a) the sigma factor is essential for the correct initiation of transcription.

d) Termination is accomplished by the use of a hairpin loop or the use of the rho factors .

e) Many mRNA can be transcribed simultaneously from one DNA template.
