DNA SEQUENCING, MUTATION AND REPAIR QUIZ

photoreactivation

phosphorylation

excision repair

photosynthesis

an abnormal elongation of a polypeptide

a premature termination of the synthesis of a polypeptide

modification of mRNA

a large deletion within the reading frame of a gene

Ligation

Excision

All of these

Incision

an enzyme that repairs mutations

a molecule which stabilizes DNA thus prevents mutations from occurring

a chemical or physical agent that induces mutations

an inhibitor of gene modification

S. pneumoniae

E. coli

S. thermophilus

H. influenzae

Both (a) and (b)

Phenotype

Genotype

None of these

not a regulated promoter

a bacterial promoter

the natural promoter of the gene being cloned

expressed both in bacteria and mammalian cells

Never leads to mutation

Photoreactivation

Excision repair

SOS repair

distinctive fluorescent tag

different radioactive tag

cytosine at start

unique antibody bound to it

shorten the length of the protein encoded by the gene

have no effect on the transcript or protein made

cause a shift in reading frame

cause premature termination of the mRNA
