The correct options are:

  • An mRNA molecule may be degraded before it is translated.
  • An mRNA molecule may persist long enough to be translated many times.

Explanation:

  1. The protein that an mRNA encodes may be destroyed.

    • Incorrect. This statement refers to protein stability, not mRNA stability.

  2. An mRNA molecule may be degraded before it is translated.

    • Correct. If an mRNA is unstable, it can be degraded before it is translated into protein, affecting gene regulation by reducing protein production.

  3. An mRNA molecule may be degraded before it is transcribed.

    • Incorrect. Transcription occurs before mRNA is produced, so mRNA cannot be degraded before it is transcribed.

  4. An mRNA molecule may persist long enough to be translated many times.

    • Correct. Stable mRNA can persist in the cell, allowing it to be translated multiple times, increasing protein production.

In summary, mRNA stability affects gene regulation by influencing how long an mRNA is available for translation, impacting protein synthesis levels.

Use the mass spectrum of lead to estimate the atomic mass of lead. Estimate the mass and percent intensity values from the graph to three significant figures. The peak representing Pb-204 has a percent intensity of 2.70%; the peak representing Pb-206 has a percent intensity of 46.0%; the peak representing Pb-207 has a percent intensity of 23.1%; and the peak representing Pb-208 has a percent intensity of 22.6%. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

QUESTION 8 A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 80 carts per hour. Workers receive 10 per hour, and machine cost was 40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by 10 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. What is the multifactor productivity before buying new equipment (consider labor and equipment as inputs)? (Please keep two digits after the decimal point.)
