Why is tetrad analysis useful for studying genetics?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Cells within a tetrad are haploid so genotype is directly reflected in the phenotype.
  2. Cells within a tetrad reflect the events of meiosis.
  3. Analysis of simple systems can elucidate general rules that apply more broadly.
  4. All of the above

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

During eukaryotic protein synthesis, stress conditions result in activation of specific kinases leading to phosphorylation of a key translation initiation factor that inhibits protein synthesis from a large number of cellular mRNA. Which one of the following factors is the kinase?

Match the Following

A. fidelity of codon recognition

1. involves two adjacent adenine residues in the 16S rRNA component located

within the A-site of the small subunit. These bases form hydrogen bonds with

the minor groove of each correct base pair formed between the anticodon and

the first two bases of the codon in the A-site

B. kinetic selectivity

2. Even a single mismatch in the codon–anticodon base pairing alters the position of EF-Tu, reducing its ability to interact with the factor-binding center. This, in turn, leads to a dramatic reduction in EF-Tu GTPase activity

C. Accommodation

3. When the charged tRNA is first introduced

into the A-site in a complex with EF-Tu-GTP, its 30 end is distant from the site of peptide-bond formation. To participate successfully in the peptidyl transferase reaction, the tRNA must rotate into the peptidyl transferase center of the large subunit in a process

23S rRNA catalyze peptide-bond formation explained by the model of proton shuttle given in figure.

 Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT for this model?

A. Base pairing between the 23S rRNA and the CCA ends of the tRNAs in the A- and P-sites positions is crucial for this reaction

B. This catalytic mechanism involves entropy

C. 2’-OH of the P-site tRNA act as part of a “proton shuttle”

D. it is a protein that catalyses peptide bond formation

B. Class II release factors

2. stimulate the dissociation of the class I factors from the ribosome after release of the polypeptide

chain.

C. RF1

3. recognizes the stop codon UAG

D. RF2

4. recognizes the stop codon UGA.

Termination of prokaryotic translation take place in three set of events. Match the following

A. glycine glycine glutamine, GGQ and RF3-GTP

1. That is essential for polypeptide release in first step, release of class I RF

B. RRF & EF-G

2. the tRNAs and the mRNA must be removed from the ribosome, and the ribosome must dissociate into its large and small subunits.

C. IF3

3. Release of ribosome
