Transcription in bacteria differs from transcription in a eukaryotic cell because __________________________. (a) RNA polymerase
Serggg [28]

The correct answer is: (a) RNA polymerase (along with its sigma subunit) can initiate transcription on its own.

More differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription:

• In prokaryotes transcription occurs in the cytoplasm (unlike in eukaryotes in nucleus) and it is simultaneous with translation,

• In prokaryotes there is only one type of RNA polymerase (in eukaryotes there are three types of them).

• There is no sigma subunit in eukaryotes, the initiation of transcription begins thanks to initiation factors.

• Promoter region in prokaryotes contains pribnow box, while in eukaryotes it contains TATA and CAT box.

Given the mRNA sequence GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU, what would happen if a nucleotide was added at the fourth location in the chain? A. chr
anygoal [31]

Answer: The correct answer is B) Frameshift mutation.

The given  mRNA sequence is GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU. When a nucleotide is added at the fourth location in the chain, it entirely changes the frame from the insertion of the nucleotide till the end of the gene sequence. This is called a frameshift mutation.

This is because after adding a nucleotide, a new frame is generated that will code for different amino acids and therefore a different protein will be synthesized.

On the contrary, chromosomal mutation is an abnormality in the chromosome ( in terms of number or structure) whereas substitution mutation is the one, which exchanges one base with another. Deletion of base also results in the frame-shift mutation.
