“Solve the Unified State Exam” provides applicants with 3 sections with tasks in cytology:

  1. Protein biosynthesis
  2. Cell division

The task is of a high level of difficulty, for correct execution relies 3 points. There is nothing scary about tasks. After all, everything is usually clear in them. You just need to understand the essence once, and then they will be one of the expected and favorite tasks.

In order to avoid incorrect formatting and other troubles, tasks, solutions will be laid out below, in the form in which they should be written down on a special form for the second part, a scale with points so that you can understand how each point of the solution is assessed and comments that will help you with your assignments. The first tasks of the analysis will be described in great detail, so it is better to familiarize yourself with them. Below are variations of the tasks. All of them are decided according to the same principle. Cell division tasks are based on mitosis and meiosis, which applicants have already become familiar with earlier, in the first part.

Protein biosynthesis


The tRNA anticodons arrive at the ribosomes in the following nucleotide sequence UCG, CGA, AAU, CCC. Determine the sequence of nucleotides on mRNA, the sequence of nucleotides on DNA encoding a specific protein and the sequence of amino acids in a fragment of a synthesized protein molecule using the genetic code table:


We have been given tRNA. We build an mRNA chain using the principle of complementarity.

Let me remind you what pairs RNA has: A is complementary to U, G is complementary to C.

For convenience, in the draft, we write out the tRNA chain from the condition so as not to lose any nucleotide:

UCG TsGA AAU CCC

Note: when we write tRNA, we do not put any hyphens or anything else. It’s better not to even write commas, just write separated by a space. This is due to the structure of tRNA.

We write down the resulting mRNA:

AGC-GCU-UUA-GGG

Now, according to the principle of complementarity, we build a DNA chain using mRNA

I remind you of the pairs in DNA: A is complementary to T, C is complementary to G

UCG-TsGA-AAT-CCTs

Now let's determine the sequence of the resulting amino acids in mRNA. To do this, we will use the genetic code table that is included in the assignment.

How to use the table? Let's look at our sequence.

First amino acid sequence: AHC

  1. We find the first base in the first column of the table - A.
  2. Find the second base among columns 2-4. Our base is G. Column 4 of the table corresponds to it.
  3. We find the last, third base. For us, this is C. In the last column, we look for the letter C in the first line. Now we look for the intersection with the desired column, pointing to the second base.
  4. We get the amino acid “ser”


Let's define the remaining amino acids:

GCU – “ala”

UUA – “ley”

YYY - "gli"

Final sequence: ser-ala-lay-gli

Points
  1. According to the principle of complementarity, the nucleotide sequence on i-RNA is: mRNA AGC-GCU-UUA-GGG;
  2. then, according to the principle of complementarity based on mRNA, we find DNA: TCH-TsGA-AAT-TsTs,
  3. 3) Using a genetic code table based on mRNA, we determine the sequence of amino acids: SER-ALA-LEI-GLI.

You don’t have to rewrite the entire chain into a clean copy, but only the necessary triplet.

AUA-GCU-GAA-TsGG-ATSU

  1. Let's write out the amino acids from the table:

ile-ala-glu-arg-tre

During glycolysis, 112 molecules of pyruvic acid (PVA) were formed. How many glucose molecules are broken down and how many ATP molecules are formed during the complete oxidation of glucose in eukaryotic cells? Explain your answer.

  1. In the process of glycolysis, when 1 molecule of glucose is broken down, 2 molecules of pyruvic acid are formed and energy is released, which is enough for the synthesis of 2 ATP molecules.
  2. If 112 molecules of pyruvic acid were formed, then, therefore, 112: 2 = 56 glucose molecules were split.
  3. With complete oxidation, 38 ATP molecules are formed per glucose molecule.

Therefore, with the complete oxidation of 56 glucose molecules, 38 x 56 = 2128 ATP molecules are formed

During the oxygen stage of catabolism, 972 ATP molecules were formed. Determine how many glucose molecules were broken down and how many ATP molecules were formed as a result of glycolysis and complete oxidation? Explain your answer.

  1. In the process of energy metabolism, during the oxygen stage, 36 ATP molecules are formed from one glucose molecule, therefore, glycolysis, and then 972 were subjected to complete oxidation: 36 = 27 glucose molecules.
  2. During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of PVK with the formation of 2 molecules of ATP. Therefore, the number of ATP molecules formed during glycolysis is 27 × 2 = 54.
  3. With the complete oxidation of one glucose molecule, 38 ATP molecules are formed, therefore, with the complete oxidation of 27 glucose molecules, 38 × 27 = 1026 ATP molecules are formed.

Problem 1. Drosophila somatic cells contain 8 chromosomes. Determine the number of chromosomes and DNA molecules in prophase, anaphase and after the completion of the telophase of mitosis. Explain the results obtained Solution algorithm 1) When preparing a cell for division, DNA replication occurs, the number of chromosomes does not change, the number of DNA molecules increases by 2 times, so the number of chromosomes is 8, DNA molecules are 16. 2) In the prophase of mitosis, chromosomes spiral, but their number does not change, therefore the number of chromosomes is 8, DNA molecules are 16. 3) In the anaphase of mitosis, the chromatids of the chromosomes diverge to the poles, each pole has a diploid number of single-chromatid chromosomes, but the separation of the cytoplasm has not yet occurred, therefore, in total, there are 8 chromosomes and 16 DNA molecules in the cell. 4) The telophase of mitosis ends with the division of the cytoplasm, so each resulting cell has 8 chromosomes and 8 DNA molecules.

Determine the number of chromosomes and DNA molecules in ovarian cells during oogenesis in interphase before the start of division and after division of meiosis I. Explain the results obtained at each stage. Solution algorithm 1) before division begins in interphase, DNA molecules double, their number increases, but the number of chromosomes does not change - 60, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, so the number of DNA molecules is 120; number of chromosomes - 60; 2) meiosis I is a reduction division, therefore the number of chromosomes and the number of DNA molecules decreases by 2 times, therefore after meiosis I the number of chromosomes is 30; number of DNA molecules - 60.

Task 27. Cytology task. Cell division Problem 3. A somatic cell of an animal is characterized by a diploid set of chromosomes. Determine the chromosome set (n) and the number of DNA molecules (c) in the cell nucleus during gametogenesis in metaphase I of meiosis and anaphase II of meiosis. Explain the results in each case. Solution algorithm 1) In metaphase I of meiosis, the set of chromosomes is 2n, the number of DNA is 4c 2) In anaphase II of meiosis, the set of chromosomes is 2n, the number of DNA is 2c 3) Before meiosis (at the end of interphase), DNA replication occurred, therefore, in metaphase I Meiosis the number of DNA is doubled. 4) After the first reduction division of meiosis in anaphase II of meiosis, sister chromatids (chromosomes) diverge to the poles, therefore the number of chromosomes is equal to the number of DNA.
