You are a graduate student at the University of Iowa and working as a teaching assistant for a freshman introductory biology cou

rse. Two of your students have come to you with a ques- tion about the sequence of an mRNA transcribed from a gene. The original DNA sequence from which the mRNA was transcribed reads: TGACGATCGTA. The students were asked to provide the sequence of bases in the mRNA and came up with the following mRNA sequence: ACTGCTAGCAT. They are confused because their answer does not match the answer in the book. Briefly explain the very common mistake they made and what the correct sequence is.

Answer: The corret DNA sequence is ACUGCUAGCAU.

Explanation: The common mistake that they make is, they forget to replace thymine with uracil as a base pair of Adenine. During DNA transcription Thymine is replaced by Uracil in production of messenger RNA. Uracil is a de-mythylated form of thymine and requires less energy to produce.

Answer:

Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.

DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.

Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of chromatin.

Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.

Eukaryotic chromatin structure is a highly complex assembly which needs to be simplified in order to undergo process of transcription. Eukaryotic chromatin structure is highly condensed in nature and DNA cannot be access for transcription. Actylation of histone tails is a process in which breaks the bond of attraction between adjacent nucleosomes. It results in chromatin being condensed attains a loose form. Transcription of DNA can occur in a loose chromatin. Methylation can promote condensation or decondensation of chromatin structure depending upon the methyl group present in the histone.

The red dots are salt. What type of solution is this cell in, and in which direction will
Leto [7]

Answer:

A) hypertonic, out of the cell.

Explanation:

When cells are exposed to high levels of salt (sodium chloride) they lose water by osmosis and shrink. The cytoplasm condenses and the movement of cellular components, such as the cytoskeleton and organelles, stops. Cells adapt to high salt by quickly importing salt in order to attract water and regain volume, at the expense of increased salt concentration. Unlike cell volume, the movements of cellular components are slow to recover and, depending on the dose of salt, may not recover fully.
