Suppose you exposed these cells to a frameshift mutation into your dividing cells. Which is more likely, that they would die, or that they would be cancerous? Briefly explain your answer . Which DNA strand, the leading or lagging take longer to synthesize Induce a point mutation to the FIRST triplet code on the following DNA strand (circle the appropriate nucleotide, below). After inducing this deletion, will the mRNA that this sequence transcribes, ever be translated into a protein? Why or why not? 4. DNA 5-ATGCAGAGTTCCTTAG-3 Generally speaking, there are the two sources of virulence for human viruses Name one of them: 5. 5. Why is bacterial horizontal gene transfer such a critically important biological phenomenon? In other words, how does horizontal gene transfer benefit bacteria? I stated that removing introns prior to translation has a benefit for the cell. What benefit do introns confer to eukaryotic cells that have these non-coding sequences? 7. Some have argued that eukaryote introns are "garbage" or wasted code. In lecture art I. Short Answers @ 2 pts each.
