A human cell has a mutation in the gene that encodes the enzyme that generates lactate from pyruvate, rendering that enzyme completely non-functional. Assuming that there is ample glucose present, how would this cell generate energy in the presence of oxygen?
A. Glycolysis coupled with ethanol fermentation B. Aerobic respiration C. Primarily through the break down of proteins into amino acids D. This cell would have no way to generate energy under these conditions because it cannot carry out the reactions needed for glycolysis Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question? What type of thinking is required? Gather Content What do you already know about how cells use multiple fuels to generate energy? How does this relate to the inability of the cell to convert pyruvate into lactate? What other information is related to the question? Choose Answer Do you have all necessary information to determine which products would affect cellular respiration? Reflect on Process Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?
Which of the following would occur from a mutation in the gene's promoter region?
A. The sequence of the mature mRNA would change. B. The ability of pre-mRNA to be properly spliced would change. C. The ability of mRNA to be translationally regulated would change. D. The amino acid sequence of the translated protein would be altered. E. The rate of transcription may increase or decrease.
Why is it important to have an antibiotic resistance gene in the cloning plasmid?
a. It makes the bacteria resistant to the antibiotic. b. It provides a way for researchers to sort the bacteria that have the cloning plasmid from the bacteria that don't have the cloning plasmid. c. It aids scientists in developing new antibiotic treatments. d. It provides a way for sorting bacteria that have the gene of interest from the bacteria that just have an "empty" cloning plasmid. e. It makes the bacteria produce more clones.
