Gene Expression and Regulation
What is termination in the process of translation?
During elongation in eukaryotic translation, what would be affected if eEF2 were inhibited?
Given cells expressing mutant eukaryotic release factors incapable of recognizing standard stop codons accurately during termination phase of translation, which cellular adaptation could potentially compensate for this deficiency?
What molecule does a tRNA carry and add to the growing polypeptide chain during translation?
Which aspect of the elongation phase would be directly affected by a chemical that inhibits peptidyl transferase activity inside ribosomes?
Which of the following scenarios would most likely result in a functional protein despite the presence of a nonsense mutation early in the mRNA sequence?
In organisms where multiple copies of tRNA genes exist for each amino acid, what could be an evolutionary advantage when some but not all copies acquire mutations that prevent function?

Which of the following mutations in the coding sequence of a gene is most likely to have no effect on the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein?
How does a codon relate to an anticodon during translation?
If a mutation occurs resulting in the insertion of an extra nucleotide pair, causing a frameshift, how will it affect the subsequent amino acid sequence?
