Imagine mutations occurred in genes that code for proteins that make up the cytoskeleton. What would be the consequence to the cell from these mutations? (Choose all that apply) The cell could lose its shape. Vesicle trafficking would be impaired. Protein synthesis would stop. ATP synthesis would be impaired.

What would happen if eukaryotic cells did not have telomeres at the 3' end of the DNA template strands? nothing; telomeres have no function the cells would start to divide uncontrollably leading to caner the DNA template strand would get shorter following each round of replication the DNA template strand would get longer following each round of replication

QUESTION 3 Which of the following types of mutations is MOST likely to alter the encoded protein? A single nucleotide deletion A point mutation in the 1st base of a codon A point mutation in the 3rd base of a codon A point mutation in the 2nd base of a codon QUESTION 4 What is an advantage of a degenerate genetic code? Mutations are more likely to alter proteins, increasing the rate of evolution. Mutations are less likely to alter protein sequence, decreasing the chances that a mutation will have deleterious consequences to the organism. It increases the number of different proteins that can be coded by each gene. It decreases the total number of tRNAs that have to be made.

The following are examples of how eukaryotic cells may control gene expression: small RNA molecules, methylation of DNA and histones, histone acetylation, promoter region that controls the initiation of transcription, enhancer regions which are frequently found very far away from the promoter region, alternative splicing of mRNA, RNA binding proteins, 5' cap, and 3' poly-A tail on mRNA to improve stability and reduce likelihood of degradation, and inducible and repressible operons.
