- You are studying a bacterial metabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of a product, vitalin, that is essential for survival. In the figure below, each number represents an intermediate product, and each letter represents the enzyme (protein) that catalyzes that step. d 3 e 5 Vitalin Compound 4 > Vitalin You find that bacteria with mutations in either c orf can survive, but a bacterial cell that has mutations in both c and f cannot survive. Which of the following statements explain your observations? Select all that apply. If both genes, c and f, are mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized O If gene c is mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized The pathway to synthesis of vitalin is branched, and either one can result in vitalin production gene c is mutated, then bacteria can survive by synthesizing vitalin using enzymes f and g Ifarrow_forwardIn the: Exposure to a substance that mutates the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. Explain: (a) What is the process affected? (b) What is the Effect on the process? (c) Does it affect prokaryotes, eukaryotes or both?arrow_forwardWhen Griffith incubated heat-killed virulent S strain bacteria with live avirulent R strains, he found that R cells were transformed into lethal, disease-causing bacteria. What is the molecule responsible for the transformation of R cells into the S type? Why did the transformation occur? A. Proteins in the heat-killed S cell extract; they were able to synthesize the capsular polysaccharide in the R cells and make them virulent. B. The capsular polysaccharide in the heat-killed S cell extract; the polysaccharide was able to attach to R cells, thus making them virulent. C. DNA in the heat-killed S cell extract; the DNA altered the genetic makeup of R cells, allowing them to synthesize the polysaccharide capsule, thus making them virulent. D. Specialized lipids in the cell membrane of the S cells were able to integrate with the R cells, conferring the ability to evade host immunity.arrow_forward
- What defect in the cell causes the condition known as Zellweger's syndrome, ZS? Explain in detail and what is known about the genetics. What do the peroxisomes of ZS patients look like?arrow_forwardProcedure This activity will use the Human β-hemoglobin gene, which is mutated in sickle cell anemia, with the following sequences of the first thirty (30) nucleotides: TAC CAC GTG GAC TGA GGA CAC CTC TTC AGA... 1. First transcribe the DNA sequence into the mRNA sequence. 2. Refer to the genetic code to write down the amino acid sequence that these 30 nucleotides encode beginning with the first nucleotide. 3. Generate a random number (1-30) by drawing lots in a bowl. Then locate the DNA nucleotide to "mutate" using the number drawn as the position along the gene. 4. "Roll" the tetrahedron "mutator" dice (see direction below for making the tetrahedron "mutator" dice). Note the letter on the side that is flat on the table. That is the nucleotide that will replace the nucleotide in the DNA at the position decided in the previous step. 5. Write the mutant nucleotide sequence in the row for Mutation 1, then analyze mutation. a. If it is the same nucleotide, write same nucleotide…arrow_forwardA gene contains the sequence CGCATACGGTAC that results in the amino acid sequence arg-ile-arg-tyr. A mutation in this gene removes the first G in the strand.What is true of this mutation's effect on the phenotype?1.It will affect the phenotype because although most of the protein will be identical, the first amino acid will be different.2.It will not affect the phenotype because the protein will be identical to the original protein.3.It will affect the phenotype because all the amino acids past this point will be different from the original protein.4.It will not affect the phenotype because only the first amino acid is different from the original protein.arrow_forward
