Only one amino acid was altered in each mutant TrpA protein. A single amino acid in the TrpA protein could be altered in different ways in different trpA- mutants. Three of the amino acid changes were alterations of an original Gly amino acid. The sites of the point mutations in the different trpA- mutants correlated in a linear manner with the altered amino acids in the different mutant TrpA proteins. More trpA- mutations occurred at the 3' end of the coding region than in the 5' end. Some of the trpA- mutants were nonsense mutations and others were missense mutations. True or false?

True

Explanation:

Point mutations arise when a single amino acid base is changed. This could cause some differences in the organism or it may not. Manufactured point mutations in model systems such as yeast offer a powerful tool to examine the function of different amino acids in a protein.

There are three types of point mutations

they are known to reach a speed of 21 miles per hour

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
