Question

Use the information gathered in the Overview of Eukaryotic Gene Expression animation to answer the question. What effect might you expect in a eukaryotic organism in which an enzyme essential for adding the 5' cap to RNA polymerase II transcripts was nonfunctional? a) The organism would be unable to produce stable mRNA transcripts b) The organism’s ribosomes would not efficiently recognize mRNA transcripts produced c) All of the statements will result from nonfunctional mRNA capping d) The organism would be unable to efficiently splice RNA transcripts.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option- A,B,C,D                                              

Explanation:

• We should expect the following features for an organism if we add the  5' cap to RNA polymerase II transcripts was nonfunctional to it.
• As, there would be the following characteristics of the organisms system, which are as follows:

1. The organism would be unable to produce stable mRNA transcripts.
2. The organism’s ribosomes would not efficiently recognize mRNA transcripts produced.
3. All of the statements will result from nonfunctional mRNA capping.
4. The organism would be unable to efficiently splice RNA transcripts.
