Question

_____ Genetic engineering can make plants toxic to weeds that crowd out the plant respectively, but theoretically leave the plant harmless to ___ The total amount of DNA in an organism, including all of its genes and other DNA is called the genome. ___ A protein that can cut DNA at specific DNA base sequences is a restriction enzyme. ___Post-translational control of gene expression would be the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons ___ Translation of a gene involves initiation, elongation and termination using RNA polymerase. ___ The process of passing gene information in the form of proteins from parent to offspring is called gene expression. 55. If one strand of mRNA has the base sequence UUGCCAAAUGGU then the complement on the DNA would have the sequence a. TTGCCAAATGGT b. AACGGTTTACCA c. GGCUUTTTGCCG d. UGANDAUGAUGA A 30 nucleotide sequence (including a stop code) would have ___ in the polypeptide. a. 9 amino acids b. 12 amino acids c. 10 amino acids d. 11 amino acids

Explanation / Answer

50) True.The total amount of DNA in an organism including all of its genes and other DNA is its genome.

51) True.A protein that can cut DNA at specific DNA base sequences is called a restriction enzyme.

52) True.The removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression.

53) False.The translation of genes donot invole  initiation, elongation and termination using RNA polymerase.The three Stages of transcription initiation, elongation and termination using RNA polymerase.

54) False.Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. The process of gene expression is used by all known life—eukaryotes , prokaryotes, and utilized by viruses to generate the macromolecular machinery for life.
