Suresh and Gail are students in a lab working on mice with defects in the function of the HOX3A gene. In the special mouse line

they are working on, no sequence changes are present in the genomic DNA of HOX3A, but the gene is not expressed properly and a mutant phenotype results. In one mouse line, an mRNA is produced in normal amounts, but no HOX3A protein can be detected.
Suresh thinks the absence of protein results from a change in RNA processing that prevents the inclusion of an exon in the final mRNA. Gail thinks the absence of protein results from some second gene that produces a protein that binds to the 3'UTR. Which of the two could be correct?

A) Only Suresh could be correct.

B) Only Gail could be correct.

C) Both Suresh and Gail could be correct.

Answer:

C) Both Suresh and Gail could be correct.

Explanation:

The pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript obtained after transcription of eukaryotic genes must undergo several processing events, including a process known as intron splicing, where introns (i.e., the non-coding sections of an RNA transcript) are removed and exons (coding regions) are joined to form a mature mRNA molecule. The three prime untranslated (3′-UTR) region of this mRNA can also bind to regulatory non-coding RNAs such as, for example, miRNAs which inhibit gene expression by inhibiting translation and/or by triggering its degradation. Moreover, the 3′-UTR region may also contain silencer sequences that bind to repressors in order to inhibit gene expression. On the other hand, translation refers to the process by which an ordered polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) is synthesized by using the information contained in an mRNA molecule. In consequence, in the case under consideration, the mutation in the second gene could affect both RNA processing and the regulation of translation, thereby equally affecting HOX3A protein synthesis.

<u>The levels of organisation are</u>

Domain: Eukarya

Kingdom Animalia

Phylum :Chordata

Explanation:

They all share these levels of organisation because;

<u>for  the Domain Eukarya, they have;</u>

→multi-cellular cells containing   nucleus; and  other membrane bound organelle.e.g Mitochondrial.

→their  DNA located in the   nucleus  packaged as linear chromosomes bounded by histone proteins.

→mode of reproduction which is  sexual.

They share Kingdom Animalia because;

→they have multi-cellular, specialised cells, bounded by plasma membranes.

→they have specialized  tissues, organs, and system.

→they all undergo <u>heterotrophic mode of nutrition</u> <u>as evident in the question 'that they must consume plants and animals as source of energy'</u>

<u>→they exchanged communication by nervous ssytem and </u>

<u>→ use homeostatic mechanisms to regulate water balance of the body through the kidney.</u>

<u>→Humans,Rabbits,and whales are</u><u> VIVIPAROUS; they give birth to young ones alive.</u>

→Most fishes lay eggs to reproduce, they are said to be <u>Ovoviviparous.</u>

<u>They belong to phylum Chordata because ;</u>

<u>→they  all have noto chord;</u> which serve as template for axial skeleton.

<u>dorsal hollow nerve cord </u>-template for the brain and spinal cord

<u>→pharyngeal slits- </u>templates for gill aches in bony fishes and components of inner ear in land animals.

<u>→ tail</u> length varies  in these organisms.

The yellow ring inside the bacterial cell represents the bacterial DNA. Why does this structure disappear by step 3 of the lytic
adell [148]

Answer:

The bacterial DNA gets degraded at step 3 of the viral lytic cycle.

Explanation:

Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, hence, they require a living host which they infect and use its replicational ability to reproduce theirselves. The infection cycle of this virus is regarded as its replication cycle. Viruses employ either the LYTIC or LYSOGENIC cycle for infection.

The lytic cycle involves killing of their host cell at the end of the cycle. Generally, the cycle starts with the attachment of my the virus to the cell membrane of its host using specific receptor sites (step 1). It then penetrates the host cell as seen in step 2.

After penetration, the virus then secretes certain degrading enzymes called ENDONUCLEASES that degrades the bacterial DNA. After which the virus uses the replicational and gene expressing ability of the host to transcibe its genetic material and replicate itself. This process called SYNTHESIS occurs in step 3.

Hence, the yellow ring in the image that represents bacterial DNA disappears in step 3 (synthesis stage) because it gets degraded by viral digesting enzymes.
