The diagram provided shows different regions (1-5) of a pre-mRNA molecule, a mature-mRNA molecule, and the protein corresponding to the mRNA. A mutation in which region is most likely to be damaging to the cell?

Explain what an enhancer is and how an enhancer that is located thousands of nucleotides away from the gene it controls can still affect that gene.

Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.A part of an mRNA molecule with the following sequence is being read by a ribosome: 5′-CCG-ACG-3′ (mRNA). The charged transfer RNA molecules shown in the table (with their anticodons shown in the 3′ to 5′ direction) are available. Two of them can correctly match the mRNA so that a dipeptide can form.The anticodon loop of the first tRNA that will complement this mRNA is

How can evolutionary biologists use Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium while studying populations of organisms that they suspect may be evolving?

What is the normal function of p53 and why might a mutation in p53 lead to skin cancer in response to UV exposure?

If the frequency of an autosomal recessive trait in humans is 1 out of 100 births, what would be the expected frequency of heterozygote carriers for the trait if we assume that the gene is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Explain how epigenetic changes can lead to cancer and what treatments would be required to reverse these changes.
