Sample questions for Exam III 1) RNAi can work through deadenylation T/F 2) You want to perform a global RNAi screen to identify all of the host cell genes that normally promote microbial growth. So, you transfect human cells with siRNAs and then infect them with your microbe expressing the green fluorescent protein. You should look for: a) increased fluorescence b) decreased fluorescence 3) Interactions involving rRNA are a key part of ribosome function T/F 4) Snurps are primarily found in the cytoplasm T/F 5) TATA-binding protein (TBP) is required for initiation by A) RNA polymerases I, II, and III B) RNA polymerases I and III C) RNA polymerase II D) RNA polymerase III E) RNA polymerase I 6) Methylation of a CpG island in a promoter would a) inhibit gene expression b) activate gene expression c) have no effect 7) An enhancer ______ the gene it affects. A) must be upstream from B) can be very distant from C) cannot be within an intron of D) must be in the same orientation as E) must be downstream from 8) the -10 and -35 elements are spatially conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes T/F

Practice Questions_Module III_Topic III. (5 points each) 1. Based on gene structure of prokaryotic genes, design a gene with the following elements, label both ends of the DNA and define the coding and template strands. Elements: Promoter (-10 and -35 sequences), start and stop codons, transcription start site, Shine-Dalgarno sequence, transcription terminator, open reading frame. 2. To study the lac operon in E. coli, you added IPTG in the growth media. IPTG is another analog of allolactose but is not metabolized by Ě -galactosidase (Ě gal). You measured the activity of the enzyme Ě -gal by X-gal. After mutagenesis (mutation induction) you find the mutants that never turn blue, which of the following DNA component(s) could produce such phenotype? Explain briefly. DNA components: Pi (promoter of the repressor gene), I (repressor gene), lac promoter, operator, lac Z, lacY, and lacA. 3. Design and draw an inducible Cas 9 expression vector

Exam Practice Questions: L10-11 1. Fill in each blank with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase can be used only once. Bacterial genomes include one or more chromosomes that contain genes and may also include s with beneficial genes that help with adaptation to specific niches. DNA polymerase replicates DNA in a manner so that each daughter cell inherits an identical copy of the chromosome. Each replisome contains a DNA polymerase that is performing discontinuous strand synthesis that results in the formation of . The nucleotide sequence of the daughter strand that is being synthesized is determined by base-pairing with the parent template strand, however DNA polymerase will rarely incorporate a base-pair that can result in a point mutation if it is not quickly repaired. The original parent strand of DNA can be distinguished from the new daughter strand of DNA by using of certain nucleotides. The low rate of mutation caused by DNA polymerase errors can be increased dramatically in the presence of environmental that can be identified using the . 2. After each sentence below, note whether the sentence is true or false. If false, cross out one incorrect word in the sentence and write the correct one above it. a. DNA polymerase requires a short primer made of DNA with a 3' OH group to begin chromosome replication. b. Semi-conservative DNA replication means that a newly synthesized daughter chromosome will be fully-methylated. c. The lagging strand of newly synthesized DNA will have many more primers compared to the leading strand. d. The bacterial SOS response is activated in the presence of excessive ssRNA that accumulates in the presence of high levels of mutation.
