Answer
  • DNA Helicase unwinds -> Gyrase alleviates supercoiling -> RNA polymerase binds to the promoter and starts in 5' to 3' -> Terminator is reached -> pre-mRNA is cleaved off -> DNA helix is reformed.
  • DNA Helicase unwinds -> Telomerase alleviates supercoiling -> RNA polymerase binds to the promoter and starts in 5' to 3' -> Terminator is reached -> pre-mRNA is cleaved off -> DNA helix is reformed.
  • DNA Helicase unwinds -> Gyrase alleviates supercoiling -> RNA polymerase binds to the promoter and starts in 3' to 5' -> Terminator is reached -> pre-mRNA is cleaved off -> DNA helix is reformed.

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 20

Question
What is the process of amino acid charging?
Answer
  • AA attaches to amino-acyl tRNA synthetase -> ATP binds to docking site -> hydrolysed to AMP -> AMP exits -> tRNA becomes charged -> charged tRNA is released
  • AA attaches to amino-acyl tRNA synthetase -> ATP binds to docking site -> hydrolysed to ADP -> ADP exits -> tRNA becomes charged -> charged tRNA is released

Question 21

Question
What is the process of translation?
Answer
  • Methionine-tRNA's anticodon UAC binds to the AUG sequence on mRNA -> Ribosome clamps to mRNA strand -> Peptide bond formation via Peptidyl transferase -> continuation -> STOP codon is reached -> release factor binds (no tRNA with anticodon) -> peptidyl transferase causes final protein to be ejected -> machinery disassembles
  • Methionine-tRNA's anticodon AUG binds to the UAC sequence on mRNA -> Ribosome clamps to rRNA strand -> Peptide bond formation via Peptidyl transferase -> continuation -> STOP codon is reached -> release factor binds (no tRNA with anticodon) -> peptidyl transferase causes final protein to be ejected -> machinery disassembles
  • Methionine-tRNA's anticodon AUG binds to the UAC sequence on mRNA -> Ribosome clamps to mRNA strand -> Peptide bond formation via Peptidyl transferase -> continuation -> STOP codon is reached -> release factor binds (no tRNA with anticodon) -> peptidyl transferase causes final protein to be ejected -> machinery disassembles
  • Methionine-tRNA's anticodon UAC binds to the AUG sequence on mRNA -> Ribosome clamps to mRNA strand -> Peptide bond formation via aminoacyl transferase -> continuation -> STOP codon is reached -> release factor binds (no tRNA with anticodon) -> peptidyl transferase causes final protein to be ejected -> machinery disassembles

Question 22

Question
Convention is that polypeptides start with a C terminus and end with an N terminus.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 23

Question
Polysomes are advantageous because they mean mRNA, which is very unstable, can be translated into many proteins despite having a short life span.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 24

Question
What are the three generic types of DNA mutations?
Answer
  • Insertion
  • Substitution
  • Deletion
  • Rearrangement
  • Reorderment

Question 25

Question
What is meant by a silent mutation?
Answer
  • The same amino acid is coded for, because although the base is substituted for a different one, the codon still codes for the same amino acid due to the degenerate nature of the triplet code.
  • A different amino acid is coded for for that particular triplet but the protein itself still remains functional.
  • A premature STOP codon is coded for by the substitution which leads to a truncated,, non functional protein.

Question 26

Question
What is meant by a missense mutation?
Answer
  • The same amino acid is coded for, because although the base is substituted for a different one, the codon still codes for the same amino acid due to the degenerate nature of the triplet code.
  • A different amino acid is coded for for that particular triplet but the protein itself still remains functional.
  • A premature STOP codon is coded for by the substitution which leads to a truncated,, non functional protein.

Question 27

Question
What is meant by a nonsense mutation?
Answer
  • The same amino acid is coded for, because although the base is substituted for a different one, the codon still codes for the same amino acid due to the degenerate nature of the triplet code.
  • A different amino acid is coded for for that particular triplet but the protein itself still remains functional.
  • A premature STOP codon is coded for by the substitution which leads to a truncated,, non functional protein.

Question 28

Question
Deletion or insertion of 1,2,4 or 5 bases could cause a frameshift
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 29

Question
A frameshift can completely alter the primary structure of a protein.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 30

Question

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 31

Question

Answer
  • True
  • False
