Hey guys...pls help me out wid dis multiple choice questn..
Q. Which of the following is translated completely?
i) AUGUGAUUAAAGAA
ii) AUGAUAUUGCCCUGA
iii) AGUUCCAGACUCUAA
iv) AUGUACAGUAACUAG
The answer given is. (ii) bt how?

There is no DNA sequence given in the question?

Q. Which of the following is translated completely?
i) AUGUGAUUAAAGAA
ii) AUGAUAUUGCCCUGA
iii) AGUUCCAGACUCUAA
iv) AUGUACAGUAACUAG
The answer given is. (ii) bt how?

for iii), the first codon is not AUG which is the initial codon and translation should start with AUG, so this one can't be the answer.
for i) the second codon is UGA which is called a stop codon. and in iv), the 4th codon UAA is also a stop codon.
Another stop codon is UAG which is not shown in this question~

Hope these are helpful..

Explain how the human insulin gene is joined to the plasmid DNA.

The same restriction enzyme that was used to make sticky ends at either end of the cDNA human insulin gene is used to make sticky ends (complementary to sticky ends on cDNA insulin gene) on the plasmid. The insulin gene and the cut plasmid are mixed and the complementary bases in the sticky ends pair up. Ligase enzyme is used to reconstruct the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA for the gene to combine permanently to the plasmid forming the recombinant DNA.

If i did a mistake please correct me. Hope my answer helped. Good luck

Ameen. but? I answered ur doubt right?

 

[PhyZac]

Ameen. but? I answered ur doubt right?

You answered question 5(b) which was another hard question too.

Discuss the effects that variations in carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity have on the rate of photosynthesis.

As the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases (1) as carbon dioxide limits the process (1). This occurs when temperature and light intensity are optimum, during the day (1). The rate of photosynthesis depends on different wavelengths of light (1). As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis increases as light directly affects the process, for example, at full sun when light is saturated (1). However, the rate of photosynthesis decreases when other factors such as stomatal aperture and temperature(1), start to affect the process. At high light intensity some pigments may be damaged (1) and therefore cannot absorb light and cause electron excitation (1).
Again, if there is any mistake, PLEASE correct me. According to me this answers worths 8 marks. Hope it helped. =]

Welcome. Actually, if u do crosses, try to remember the phen. ratios like 9:3:3:1 in the chapter inherited change especially where you have co-dominance these kinda things., saving u time during examinations day. If u r good at it and can do it quickly on exams day its okay... and Welcome
