I think that it would be A translocation
If a hypothesis is supported consistently by different observations or experiments, it may be advanced to the level of a(n) <u>theory</u>.
Answer:
ACA: Threonine
CAC: Histidine
Explanation:
To answer this question we need to remember that the ribosome reads every three bases or 'codon' in order to assign the right tRNA carrying the amino acid.
In the first artificial mRNA we see two patterns of three letter:
CAC and ACA.
In the second artificial mRNA we are able to identify three different patterns:
CAA
AAC
ACA
And they repeat, so we end with three different polypeptides: polythreonine, polyglutamine and polyasparagine. This will depend on the initial letter the ribosome starts reading.
The only amino acid that repeats in both artificial mRNAs is Threonine, and we see its pattern ACA also repeated.
So, we could assign this codon (ACA) to threonine.
We can then assume that the pattern CAC codifies for histidine since we only get this two polypeptides in the first mRNA.
Lastly with the information provided we cannot determine the codons AAC and CAA for glutamine or asparagine. We would need further experiments.
Answer:
C) Both Suresh and Gail could be correct.
Explanation:
The pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript obtained after transcription of eukaryotic genes must undergo several processing events, including a process known as intron splicing, where introns (i.e., the non-coding sections of an RNA transcript) are removed and exons (coding regions) are joined to form a mature mRNA molecule. The three prime untranslated (3′-UTR) region of this mRNA can also bind to regulatory non-coding RNAs such as, for example, miRNAs which inhibit gene expression by inhibiting translation and/or by triggering its degradation. Moreover, the 3′-UTR region may also contain silencer sequences that bind to repressors in order to inhibit gene expression. On the other hand, translation refers to the process by which an ordered polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) is synthesized by using the information contained in an mRNA molecule. In consequence, in the case under consideration, the mutation in the second gene could affect both RNA processing and the regulation of translation, thereby equally affecting HOX3A protein synthesis.
