Question
Indicate true or false for the following questions (**and why)**:
1.) The gene promoter is in closer proximity to A than F.
2.) In the RNA transcript labeled D-E, the 5’ end of the RNA is at D.
3.) The RNA polymerase located at J is moving in the rightward direction.
4.) RNA is being synthesized by ribosomal G and H
5.) Ribosome G has prodcued less peptide bonds than ribosome H.
6.) This chromosomal DNA was "screened" from a eukaryotic cell.
7.) The base sequence in the B mRNA is complementary to the bases found in the L mRNA.
8.) The spacial distance between ribosome C and end L is growing.
9.) Ribosome K has just synthesized the final carboxy terminus of the protein.
Explanation / Answer
Indicate true or false for the following questions (**and why)**:
1.) The gene promoter is in closer proximity to A than F. False - more genetic information is next to F (there isn't much next to A at all)
2.) In the RNA transcript labeled D-E, the 5’ end of the RNA is at D. True - you know that the 3' end will be at E because it's on the "end" and mRNA transcription goes 5' to 3'
3.) The RNA polymerase located at J is moving in the rightward direction. True - it's "transcribing outward" 4.) RNA is being synthesized by ribosomal G and H True - that's the function of ribosomes
5.) Ribosome G has prodcued less peptide bonds than ribosome H. True - it's had less time and "less experience," so to speak, because it's worked with fewer nucleotides
6.) This chromosomal DNA was "screened" from a eukaryotic cell. True; we have mRNA transcribing DNA
7.) The base sequence in the B mRNA is complementary to the bases found in the L mRNA. False - the diagram indicates that they're separate strands.
8.) The spacial distance between ribosome C and end L is growing. False - transcription continuation doesn't affect ribosome placement on completed portions.
9.) Ribosome K has just synthesized the final carboxy terminus of the protein. False - nothing in this diagram indicates that transcription has ended and that the terminus has come; in fact, B appears to still be growing.
