Which of the following is not true of post-transcriptional modifications made to mRNA? Select one: a. Polyadenylation of mRNA occurs in the cytoplasm just before the transcript associates with a ribosome b. Introns are excised as they emerge from RNA polymerase II exit channel c. mRNA splicing is catalyzed by spliceosomes that are directly associated with the tail of RNA Polymerase II d. Depending on specific snRNPs present, mRNA splicing can result in proteins of different sizes from the same mRNA. e. Nucleotides and modified nucleotides are added to the 3’ and 5’ ends of mRNA, respectively.

RNA self-splicing demonstrates the role of RNA as a: a. nucleophile. b. intron. c. catalyst. d. exon. e. spliceosome. How is the expression of lactose permease induced by the addition of lactose to E. coli? a. The addition of lactose increases the concentration of cAMP that binds to CAP. The CAP-cAMP complex binds the operator site. Transcription of the lac operon is blocked. b. Lactose is partially metabolized to allolactose. This carbohydrate binds to the lac repressor and the allolactose-repressor complex binds the operator site. Transcription of the lac operon is blocked. c. The addition of lactose increases the concentration of cAMP that binds to CAP. The CAP-cAMP complex binds the repressor of the lac operon. Transcription of the lac operon increases. d. Lactose binds to the lac repressor and the allolactose-repressor complex leaves the operator DNA. Transcription of the lac operon increases. e. Lactose is partially metabolized to allolactose. This carbohydrate binds to the lac repressor and the allolactose-repressor complex leaves the operator site. Transcription of the lac operon increases. What catalyzes the formation of the peptide bond in protein synthesis? a. EFG b. peptidyl transferase center c. aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase d. transformylase e. RRF Which of the following is TRUE regarding eukaryotic RNA processing? a. Splicing of the mRNA precursor is done in the nucleus, while modification of the ends is done in the cytoplasm. b. Functional individual rRNA cannot be produced without splicing. c. Transcription yields primary transcript, which can by itself yield a functional protein. d. Splicing of the mRNA precursor is done in the cytoplasm, while modification of the ends is done in the nucleus. e. An unprocessed mRNA precursor is translocated into the cytoplasm to be modified before the translation.
