Question 8

Question
What is the role of enhancers?
Answer
  • To make proteins more efficient
  • To make transcription of a gene more likely
  • To increase cell division

Question 9

Question

Answer
  • Upstream
  • Adjactent
  • Downstream
  • Internal

Question 10

Question

Answer
  • 3'- G-T 5'- Pyrimidine tract
  • 5' - G-U 3' - Pyrimidine tract & A-G
  • 5' - Pyrimidine tract & A-T 3' G-A

Question 12

Question
How is the 5' intron splice site cleaved?
Answer
  • Hydroxyl attack by an adenine
  • Hydroxyl attack by a pyrimidine from the 5' exon splice site
  • The 5' exon splice site attacks the 3' intron splice site

Question 13

  • False

Question 24

Question
What is the role of miRNA
Answer
  • mRNA silencing
  • Prevent mRNA degredation

Answer
  • Drosher
  • Dicer

Question 27

Question
Once complete, where do these miRNA structures do?
Image:
miRNA (image/png)
Answer
  • Binds to 5' end of mRNA to prevent ribosome binding
  • Bind to region between polyA tail and gene, causing cleavage of polyA tail
  • Bind in centre and cause mRNA looping

Question 28

Question
siRNA stands for Short Interfering RNA
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 29
