Get started for freeDuring post-translational modification, the polypeptide from a eukaryotic cell typically undergoes substantial alteration that results in (A) excision of introns (B) addition of a poly(A) tail (C) formation of peptide bonds (D) a change in the overall conformation of a polypeptide
DNA replication occurs through a complex series of steps involving several enzymes. Which of the following represents the correct order beginning with the earliest activity of enzymes involved in DNA replication? (A) Helicase, ligase, RNA primase, DNA polymerase (B) DNA polymerase, RNA primase, helicase, ligase \(\quad\) (C) RNA primase, DNA polymerase, ligase, helicase \(\quad\) (D) Helicase, RNA primase, DNA polymerase, ligase
A researcher uses molecular biology techniques to insert a human lysosomal membrane protein into bacterial cells to produce large quantities of this protein for later study. However, only small quantities of this protein result in these cells. What is a possible explanation for this result? (A) The membrane protein requires processing in the ER and Golgi, which are missing in the bacterial cells. (B) Bacteria do not make membrane proteins. (C) Bacteria do not use different transcription factors than humans, so the gene was not expressed. (D) Bacteria do not have enough tRNAs to make this protein sequence.
BamHI is a restriction enzyme derived from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens that recognizes short palindromic sequences in DNA. When the enzyme recognizes these sequences, it cleaves the DNA. What purpose would restriction enzymes have in a bacterium like Bacillus? (A) They are enzymes that no longer have a purpose because evolution has produced better enzymes. (B) They destroy extra DNA that results from errors in binary fission. (C) They protect Bacillus from invading DNA due to viruses. (D) They prevent, or restrict, DNA replication when the cell isn't ready to copy its DNA.
If a messenger RNA codon is UAC, which of the following would be the complementary anticodon triplet in the transfer RNA? (A) ATG (B) \(\mathrm{AUC}\) (C) \(\mathrm{AUG}\) (D) ATT
