Which one of the following statements about mRNA stability is true?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Degradation always proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.

  2. Degradation of mRNA by polynucleotide phosphorylase yields 5'-nucleoside monophosphates.

  3. In general, bacterial mRNAs have longer half-lives than do eukaryotic mRNAs.

  4. Secondary structure in mRNA (hairpins, for example) slows the rate of degradation.

You set up an experiment in which you breed two populations of true-breeding pea plants. The first true-breeding population has yellow round seeds and the second has green wrinkled seeds. All of the F1 plants yield yellow round seeds. When you self -fertilize the F1 the F2 generation yields a mixture of yellow round, yellow wrinkled, green round and green wrinkled seeds. What does this tell you about the alleles for seed color and shape?
