Studying the expression of a transcription regulatory protein in two cell types, you have performed experiments showing that the

mRNA encoding the protein is present at comparable levels in the cytosol of both cell types. However, based on the expression of its target genes, you suspect that the protein activity might be significantly different in the two cell types. Which of the following steps in expression of the gene encoding this protein is more likely to be differentially controlled in these cell types?
a.Translation
b.mRNA transport
c.mRNA degradation
d.Transcription

<h2>a) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Since the mRNA levels are similar in both cell types, difference in protein activity can be attributed to differences in translation or in post-translational control

Translation is completed in four sequential steps: activation of amino acids (tRNA charging), initiation, elongation and termination

Eukaryotic translation is similar as prokaryotic translation but more complex due to: mRNA require preparation before translation, requirement of preparation of ribosomal small subunit require large number of initiation factors and require scanning of initiation codon

Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.

In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element  

In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.

The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.

These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.  

Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

Describe the meaning of parsimony and give an example.
zmey [24]

Answer:

(Not wanting to spend or use something)

Explanation:

Like someone or something really cheap, not wanting to use something in a way that it is a waste.

A man's car broke down, he didn't want to spend any money repairing it so he did it himself.

Or could just mean being careful with your resources.

White raven [17]

Answer:

It could largely impact the way you look.

Explanation:

Since 100% of your DNA decides how you look, if even one thing changes, one part of your look would change. Sometimes it's something big like eye color, or sometimes like a small change in skin color.
