Q

An error occurs during transcription that accidental inserts a stop signal into the middle of an mRNA sequence.

What effect could this have on the protein that is eventually produced? Explain

A

An error occurs during transcription that accidental inserts a stop signal into the middle of an mRNA sequence.

What effect could this have on the protein that is eventually produced? Explain

It could result in a shorter amino acid sequence being produced, which would change the primary structure of the protein and therefore the 3D tertiary structure of the protein
This could affect the proteins function. This could happen because translation of the mRNA sequence only continues until a stop signal is reached. Any codons after the stop signal would not be translated into amino acids.

Q

Explain why eukaryotic mRNA gets spliced

A

Explain why eukaryotic mRNA gets spliced

Eukaryotic DNA contains introns that don’t code for amino acids. These get transcribed into pre-mRNA along with the exons. Splicing removes the introns from pre-mRNA and joins together the exons to create mRNA ready for translation into a protein

In an experiment, potato slices were kept in various concentrations of puromycin for 24 hours. nucleic acid synthesis was monitored by radioactively tagging uracil and then measuring its uptake Protein synthesis was monitored by radioactively tagging leucine and then measuring its uptake afterwards the percentage inhibition of the development of respiration, leucine uptake and uracil uptake were calculated the results are shown in the table below Suggest why uracil was the only base that was radioactively tagged

A species of bacteria has a gene that codes for the production of a blue coloured antibiotic describe the role of RNA polymerase in the transcription of a gene sequence RNA polymerase lines up three RNA nucleotides alongside exposed bases on the DNA template strand. the enzyme then moves along the DNA strand, assembling a complimentary mRNA sequence from the RNA nucleotides by joining them together the mRNA for the gene coding for the antibiotic is the same length as its DNA explain how and why this might be different for a eukaryotic gene Genes in eukaryotic DNA contain introns which are sections that don’t code for amino acids. after transcription the introns are removed from pre-mRNA strands by splicing leaving only the exons, parts of the gene that codes for amino acids which form mRNA so eukaryotic mRNA would be shorter than the DNA it was transcribed from

Original gene: TATAGTGAG Mutated gene: TACAGTGAG The genetic code is degenerate which means that some amino acids are coded for by more than one DNA triplet.

A large and growing number of disorders are now known to be due to types of mitochondrial disease (MD). MD often affects skeletal muscles, causing muscle weakness. We get our mitochondria from our mothers, via the fertilised egg cell. Fathers do not pass on mitochondria via their sperm. Some mitochondrial diseases 5 are caused by mutations of mitochondrial genes inside the mitochondria. Most mitochondrial diseases are caused by mutations of genes in the cell nucleus that are involved in the functioning of mitochondria. These mutations of nuclear DNA produce recessive alleles. One form of mitochondrial disease is caused by a mutation of a mitochondrial 10 gene that codes for a tRNA. The mutation involves substitution of guanine for adenine in the DNA base sequence. This changes the anticodon the tRNA. This results in the formation of a non-functional protein in the mitochondrion. There are a number of ways to try to diagnose whether someone has a mitochondrial disease. One test involves measuring the concentration of 15 lactate in a person’s blood after exercise. In someone with MD, the concentration is usually much higher than normal. If the lactate test suggests MD, a small amount of DNA can be extracted from mitochondria and DNA sequencing used to try to find a mutation. ``` Suggest how the change in the anticodon of a tRNA leads to MD (lines 10–13). Change to tRNA leads to wrong amino acid being incorporated into protein; Tertiary structure (of protein) changed; Protein required for oxidative phosphorylation so less / no ATP made. ```
