Fa protein is coded for by a single gene and this protein has six clearly defined domains, which number of exons below is the gene likely to have? a) 1 b) 5 c) 8 d) 12 e) 14

The correct answer is C) 8 exons.

Explanation:

If we assume that each domain matches with an exon, and we have a 6 domain protein (domain= the functional regions of the protein that include the active site), there must be at least 6 exons in the gene. Also, remember that exons include the 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions or UTR. So, assuming that each unstraslated region is equivalent to an exon, there must be at least 8 exons in the gene (6 exon for each domain and one 2 exons for UTR).

Anyway, be careful, because this is a simple exercise where we assume a lot of things. In the real world, the first exon tends to include the 5'-UTR and it is already proved that one exon is not always equivalent to one protein domain.

where is the diagram?

if you insert the diagram ill be able to you

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
