What polypeptide would result from the translation of an mRNA strand with the sequence listed below? Use the provided codon chart to determine the amino acid sequence – you may list the amino acids either by their three letter abbreviation or by their full name. You should also identify the N terminus and C terminus of the sequence. For students who need it, the long description for the codon chart is linked beneath the image.    5′ – AUG-AGA-UCC-CAU-UGA – 3′ Accessible Codon Chart Long Description.pdf

Which site of a ribosome is responsible for matching a new tRNA anticodon to the next codon of the mRNA strand?

Define frameshift mutation. Then give an example of this type of mutation, both at the DNA and protein level, and explain what effect this mutation would have on the protein’s function.

The binding of a ligand to a receptor protein is which stage of cell signaling?

The following image show a gel at the end of gel electrophoresis. Well 1 was filled with a control, the exact DNA sequence we are looking for. Wells 3 and 5 were filled with DNA extracted from two different samples. Which of these samples does not contain the DNA sequence we are looking for? Choose all that apply.         [Image ID: Gel with 6 wells, 3 used. Well 1 contains control. Well 3 contains Sample 1. Well 5 contains Sample 2. Bars are seen on the gel in 3 areas: top, middle, bottom. Well 1 shows only top bar, Well 3 shows top and middle, Well 5 shows top and bottom.]
