Select the statement that best describes how the threonyl tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) is able to minimize mis-acylation of threonyl tRNA (tRNAthr) with serine.

Given the consensus sequences for mRNA splicing (see the Dx resource) and the sequences spanning the 5′ and 3′ splice junctions of the first intron of the human β-globin gene where the first nucleotide of the intron is at position 1 and the last nucleotide of the intron is at position 130, Determine the effect on mRNA splicing for the following mutations. mRNA splicing.png Answer choices: Impaired Not impaired Mutation Effect on mRNA splicing Position 123,   A –> C Position 128,   U –> C Position 130,   G –> A Position 132,   C –> A

Select the best thermodynamic explanation for the lowering of Gibbs free energy upon annealing of two complementary strands of single-stranded DNA to form a double-stranded DNA helix.

Shown below is an alignment of the first half of the γ-globin gene and mature mRNA sequences. The mRNA and aligned protein sequences are interrupted in the gene by a 130-nucleotide intervening sequence (intron). Locate the 5′ splice junction (invariant bases) and click on it.
