Hi zade, here you are
RNase P is a type of ribonuclease and is currently under heavy research. RNase P is unique from other RNases in that it is a ribozyme – a ribonucleic acid that acts as a catalyst in the same way that a protein based enzyme would. Its function is to cleave off an extra, or precursor, sequence of RNA on tRNA molecules.

Hi birdwithpins, welcome!

BTW, its E option fr both questions

Lily, what ws d ans u got?? RNaseP may be a way of writing rna polymerase or it can b a typo error

@lily2008--gr8 question...i get easily confused lets me re-read it again...
yes u guys rt...for my question its E,
next

easy one---
A messenger acid is 336 nucleotides long, including the initiator and termination codons. The number of amino acids in the protein translated from this mRNA is:
A 999
B 630
C 330
D 111
E 110

One more:

2. Compare the processing of eukaryotic tRNAs, rRNAs, and mRNAs. Which post-transcriptional processing event is unique to the mRNAs?

a. Addition of a methylated guanine at the 5'-end
b. Addition of the CCA sequence by nucleotidyl transferase
c. Removal of extra bases from both the 5' and 3' ends of the RNA
d. Methylation of bases
e. Removal of introns

u know what lily, telomerase is absolutely rite, come to think of it. we all missed d "associated rna " part. RT works on rna but has no Rna as its part

Indidoc1, you are absolutely right. RT is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.

Great discussion. Thanks keepgoing. What about your last question?

Indidoc1, I got these question from an graduate student in our lab. Maybe it's too biochemistryyy. I have the same question, where can we find quetions except Qbook Qbank?

nooo lily.. these r absolutely wonderful Qs. what abt d 2ndQ?

keepgoing.. in ur Q 336 nucleotides . all code fr amino acid except termi codon so we r left wth 336-3=333. 3 nucleotides= 1AA so amino acids=333/3=111
