You experimentally change the DNA sequence directly upstream of a start codon of an operon in E coli to investigate the function

of this region of DNA. Analysis reveals that after the change the same amount of mRNA is made from the operon, but there are very few proteins made from the operon. What is the most likely function of the DNA sequence that you changed?

Answer:

Mutation occurred in ribosome binding site that serves as binding site for 30S ribosomal subunit of <em>E. coli</em> and allows the process of protein synthesis to begin.

Explanation:

The initiation of protein synthesis in bacteria requires binding of the ribosome to the ribosome binding site. The ribosome binding site in bacteria consists of the initiation codon "AUG" and the preceding Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The AUG initiation codon and Shine Delgrano sequence are around 10 bases apart.

The sequence is polypurine hexamer and is represented by 5' ...AGGAGG...3'. Shine-Delgrano sequence is complementary to the conserved sequence present at the 3' end of 16SrRNA of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Binding of Shine Delgrano sequence of ribosome binding site and the complementary sequence of the 30S ribosomal subunit marks the first step in the initiation of protein synthesis.

Any mutation in the ribosome binding site would not allow the process of protein synthesis to start or would reduce the rate of the initiation of protein synthesis.

Which of the following accurately pairs the phase of the cell cycle with its primary purpose? A. S phase–DNA replication B. G2 p
GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer is option A, S Phase - DNA Replication

The DNA replication begin at the S phase of the cell cycle. In this phase, the cell grows and prepare itself for the DNA replication while the other components such as centro some undergo replication. The S phase occurs during the inter phase and the genetic material duplicates itself before entering the mitosis and meiosis cell division in the next stage.

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem
FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.

which structure within a bone contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood?
kogti [31]
Epiphyseal plate is the structure within a bone that contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood.

The epiphyseal plate, also known as epiphysial plate,or physis, or growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone or diaphysis. The plate is found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line<span>.</span>
