Gene Expression and Regulation
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?
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?
How does a codon relate to an anticodon during translation?

In what way can a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located within an exon that leads to a missense mutation predominantly influence cellular functions during translation?
Where does translation occur in eukaryotic cells?
When analyzing two separate populations subject to different selective pressures how might synonymous substitutions observed at higher rates than nonsynonymous substitutions affect long-term evolutionary trajectories?
