- The concept that the sequence of codons in the DNA of a gene has a direct correspondence with the sequence of amino acids in the protein is known as:
- Translation
- Coupled
- Introns
- Colinearity
- Which of the following is not a principle element of prokaryotic mRNA?
- 3’UTR
- Promoter
- 5’ UTR
- Shine-Dalgarno sequence
- Spliceosome-mediated splicing requires______
- Exons splice sites
- Intron consensus sequences
- Shine-Dalgarno sequence
- 5’ Cap
- What type of RNA is critical to the function of the spliceosome?
- tRNA
- rRNA
- snRNA
- mRNA
- RNA editing includes all of the following except
- Addition of a nucleotide
- Deletion of a nucleotide
- Modification of a nucleotide
- Recombination of a nucleotide
- What is the one gene one enzyme (protein) hypothesis
- There are 64 total codons
- One gene encodes a single polypeptide
- Each codon encodes only one amino acid
- There are specific stop codons
- Which statement describes isoaccepting tRNAs?
- tRNAs that differ in the third nucleotide position of the codon
- tRNAs that have more than a single amino acid attached
- tRNAs that different anticodon sequences but accept the same amino acid
- tRNAs that different anticodon sequences but accept different amino acids
- How many sense codons are there?
- 20
- 64
- 3
- 61
- This helps set the reading frame for translation
- Shine-Dalgarno sequence
- Kozak sequence
- Initiation codon
- 5’ cap
- Initiation factor 3 is responsible for
- Promotes dissociation of the ribosome subunits
- Preventing the large subunit from associating with the small subunit
- Responsible for binding GTP
- Deliver fMet to the initiator codon
- Eukaryotic translation initiation is the same as prokaryotic in that it has/uses
- Initiaiton factors
- Shine-Dalgarno sequence
- Same ribosomes
- fMet-tRNA
- During translation elongation in prokaryotes what is responsible for binding to the charged tRNA?
- EF-Tu
- EF-Ts
- EF-G
- GTP
- If translocation cannot occur, what likely has a mutation? Would this be a lethal mutation?
- EF-Tu, yes
- EF-G, yes
- RF-2, no
- EF-G, no
- Stage of translation defined by the assembly of necessary components at the ribosome
- tRNA charging
- Initiation
- Elongation
- Termination
- The function of the Shine Dalgarno sequence
- Binds IF-3
- Associates to the large subunit of the ribosome
- Binds to the 16S rRNA
- Correctly positions the ribosome over the initiation codon
- GTP binds to all of the following except
- IF-2
- EF-Tu
- RF-3
- EF-Ts
- Proteins that fold the nascent polypeptide into its correct conformation for activity
- RF-2
- Molecular chaperone
- Ubiquitin
- Puromycin
- What is the purpose of gene regulation?
- Modify the mRNA sequence
- Produce precise amount of an active protein
- Only translating certain exons
- Ensuring the ribosome stays bound to the mRNA
- What are the three types of genes found in bacteria? What are their functions?
- What is the point of having operons? Draw an example and explain the purpose of the regulator gene:
- What are the differences between a positive and negative control in gene regulation?
- What are the 6 levels at which gene expression can be regulated?
- Draw out the Nirenberg experiment using polyC’s instead of poly U’s
- Label the acceptor arm, anticodon arm, DHU arm, TC arm, variable arm, and indicate what amino acid would be attached
- What is the wobble hypothesis? What position on the codon does it affect?
- Draw out the process of translation termination for UAG stop codon, would it look any different for any other stop codons?
- List the requirements for each step of translation
Initiation / Elongation / Termination
