For each of the following five scenarios, a) identify the enzyme or nucleotide sequence (e.g. tRNA, promoter, terminator, start codon, anticodon, etc.) that is mutated, and b) explain how you know (1 pt): (10 pts total). The first one is an example to give you an idea of the format, length, and quality of the answer I'm looking for:
Example: You observe that the two strands of DNA are not being separated.
Answer to example: a) The enzyme that is mutated is helicase. b) Helicase is responsible for separating the two strands of DNA during DNA replication.
Scenario 1: You observe that DNA is supercoiled during replication.
Scenario 2: You observe that amino acids are not being delivered to the ribosome.
Scenario 3: You observe that the pre-mRNA transcript is not released from the polymerase in a eukaryotic cell.
Scenario 4: You observe that a tRNA matches its corresponding amino acid to the wrong mRNA sequence.
Scenario 5: You observe that the RNA primers are not removed from the new strand of DNA.
