Suppose a Mutation Occurred That Prevented a Eukaryotic Pre-MRNA from Receiving

question 33

Multiple Choice

Suppose a mutation occurred that prevented a eukaryotic pre-mRNA from receiving a 5ʹ cap. What would be an expected result?

• A) Transcription would continue past the end of the gene coding sequence resulting in a longer pre-mRNA transcript.
• B) Translation would continue past the end of the gene coding sequence resulting in a longer pre-mRNA transcript.
• C) Transcription would not occur as the transcription factors would not be able to bind to the promoter.
• D) Translation would not occur as the ribosome would not be able to bind to the mRNA.
• E) Replication would not occur as DNA polymerase would not be able to bind to the DNA at the origin of replication.
