Figure 15.13Errors in splicing are implicated in cancers and other human diseases. What kinds of mutations might lead to splicing errors? Think of different possible outcomes if splicing errors occur.

A scientist sequencing mRNA identifies the following strand: CUAUGUGUCGUAACAGCCGAUGACCCG What is the sequence of the amino acid chain this mRNA makes when it is translated
How do enhancers and promoters differ?
a. Enhancers bind transcription factors to silence gene expression, while promoters activate transcription.
b. Enhancers increase the efficiency of gene expression, but are not essential for transcription. Promoter recognition is essential to transcription initiation.
c. Promoters bind transcription factors to increase the efficiency of transcription. Enhancers bind RNA polymerases to initiate transcription.
d. There is no difference. Both are transcription factor-binding sequences in DNA.
Which pre-mRNA processing step is important for initiating translation?
a. poly-A tail
b. RNA editing
c. splicing
d. 7-methylguanosine cap
Which subunit of the E. coli polymerase confers specificity to transcription?
a. α
b. β
c. β'
d. σ
