Quick Lab (10pts): DNA Replication Rate

Cancer is a disease caused by cells that divide uncontrollably. Faster replication means faster spread of the disease. Scientists studying drugs that treat cancer often measure the effectiveness of a drug by its effect on DNA replication. During normal DNA replication, nucleotides are added at a rate of about 50 nucleotides per second in mammals and 500 nucleotides per second in bacteria.

1. (2pts) Calculate the time it would take a bacterium to add 4000 nucleotides to one DNA strand undergoing replication.

2. (2pts) Calculate the time it would take a mammalian cell to add 4000 nucleotides to one DNA strand undergoing replication.

3. (3pts) Critical Thinking. Predict Outcomes: How would the total time needed to add the 4000 nucleotides be affected if a drug that inhibits (prevents) DNA polymerases was present?

4. (3pts) Critical Thinking. Predict Outcomes: How do you think this is this an effective treatment of cancer?

RNA, messenger RNA12. codons, genetic codeStudy the following six steps in the synthesis of proteins. Determine the order in which the steps

take place. Write the number of each step in order.13. The codon following the start codon then receives the tRNA molecule with the complementary

anticodon. The tRNA carries the amino acid specified by the codon.14. Steps 2–5 are repeated until a stop codon is reached. The newly made protein is released into the

cell.15. The first tRNA detaches, leaves behind its amino acid, and moves away from the ribosome.16. Enzymes help form a peptide bond between the amino acids of adjacent tRNA molecules.17. The tRNA (with its growing protein chain) and mRNA move one codon down, and the next codon is

ready to receive the next tRNA and its amino acid.18. An mRNA, the ribosome, and a tRNA carrying the amino acid methionine bind together. The tRNA

bonds to the “start” codon AUG.
