Complete the following problems. 1. Draw a molecule of phosphatidyl serine using palmitic acid and linoleic (Δ9,12) acid 2. Consider the following coding strand sequence of DNA to a corresponding amino acid sequence. This represents the first amino acids to be translated. Underline the codon
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
Complete the following problems.
1. Draw a molecule of phosphatidyl serine using palmitic acid and linoleic (Δ9,12) acid
2. Consider the following coding strand sequence of DNA to a corresponding amino acid sequence. This represents the first amino acids to be translated. Underline the codon where translation will be initiated, and give the amino acid sequence of the peptide produced.
5’-CGATGCTCAAGTTTC-3’
3. Within the matrix of the mitochondria, the pH is approximately 6.8 ([H+] = 1.6 X 10-7), while it is 7.4 ([H+] = 4.0 X 10-8) in the intermembrane space outside the matrix. Calculate the free energy driving transport of hydrogen ions from the intermembrane space to the matrix. Remember to include both the concentration and the membrane potential factors.
4. Draw the adenosine-5’-diphosphate.
