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.

A population has 1000 individuals. A PCR analysis of the genotypes of a gene associated with Lactase persistence are: LL = 450 L
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

L allele: 0.575 (or 57.5%)

l allele: 0.425 (or 42.5 %)

Explanation:

Homo-zygous individuals have two copies of the same allele (i.e., either L alelle or l allele), while heterozygous individuals carry both alleles at a time (i.e., one L allele and one l allele). In consequence:

- Frequency of the L allele: [(450 x 2) + 250] / 2000 = 0.575

- Frequency of the l allele: [(300 x 2) + 250] / 2000 = 0.425

Describe how a food differs from a food web and explain what the arrows on the food chain show
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.
