DNA In Protein Synthesis -The Genetic Code

Frage 1 von 32

1

In stage one of the process by which the information of the gene is used to determine how the protein molecule is constructed, a copy of the code is made by building a molecule of mRNA which is catalysed by RNA polymerase, involving complementary base paring with the antisense strand as a template. The mRNA strand then leaves the nucleus through pores in the nuclear membrane and passes to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to be 'read'.

  • WAHR
  • FALSCH

Erklärung

Frage 2 von 32

1

The second stage of protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, and AAs are activated for protein synthesis by combining with short lengths of tRNA, with a different tRNA for each of the 20 AAs. One end of each tRNA molecule is a site where a particular AA can attach and at the other end there is an anticodon.

Wähle eins der folgenden:

  • WAHR

Frage 8 von 32

1

What are the special features of promoters in eukaryotic chromosomes?

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • some regulatory proteins must first be activated by reaction with a steroid hormone or some other metabolite, before binding of RNA polymerase & gene expression

  • some do not permit binding of RNA polymerase, resulting in no expression of specific genes.

Erklärung

Frage 9 von 32

1

1

Wähle eins der folgenden:

  • WAHR
  • FALSCH

Erklärung

Frage 12 von 32

1

As the RNA trand is formed, it falls away from the antisense strand and hydrogen bonds re-form between the two DNA strands. The process continues until a base sequence known as the inhibitor is reached, causing both RNA polymerase and the completed mRNA strand to be freed from the site of the gene.

Wähle eins der folgenden:

1

When a split gene is transcribed into mRNA, the sequence of introns continues to exist exactly as it occurred in the DNA, and so an enzyme catalysed reaction known as ___ removes the introns to shorten the length of mRNA which is now described as mature before it moves out into the cytoplasm.
