Which of the following statements about bacterial mRNA is true?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. A ribosome usually initiates translation near the end of the mRNA that is synthesized last.

  2. An mRNA is never degraded but is passed on to the daughter cells at cell division.

  3. During polypeptide synthesis, ribosomes move along the mRNA in the direction 5'  3'.

  4. Ribosomes cannot initiate internally in a polycistronic transcript.

During an experiments mutating the conserved cysteine in the LOV1 domain of phot1 does not affect phototropic responsiveness (the seedlings bend toward blue light) whereas the equivalent mutation in LOV2 abolishes the response. What will be the conclusion has been drawn from this experiments?

a)  LOV1 domain is secondarily responsible (primarily responsible is LOV2 domain) for kinase activation and LOV1 is not is coupled with the protein region Jα-helix that’s why it does not affect phototropic responsiveness

b) These studies have demonstrated that LOV2 domain is primarily responsible for kinase activation in response to blue light

c) This is due in part to the position of LOV2 within the phototropin molecule, where it is coupled to a protein region known as the Jα-helix

d) The function of LOV2 domain is thought to play a role in receptor dimerization by accomplishing the kinase activation in response to blue light

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology

26-residue peptide composed of alanine and leucine shows a circular dichroism (CD) spectrum characteristic of α-helix at 50°C in 5 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. When the peptide solution is cooled gradually to 25°C, and the CD spectra are recorded at different temperatures, the most likely observation will be that
