A group of students is studying the central dogma of molecular biology in their genetics class. They are investigating a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in a gene that codes for a crucial enzyme involved in cellular metabolism. Which aspect of the central dogma is most directly affected by this mutation?

In a genetics lab, researchers are studying the transcription of a gene that encodes a protein involved in cellular metabolism. They have isolated the mRNA transcript from the gene and are analyzing its sequence. The DNA template strand for this gene has the sequence 5′-ATCGTACG-3′. What would be the corresponding sequence of the mRNA strand transcribed from this DNA template?

In a molecular biology experiment, researchers are studying the interaction between tRNA and the large ribosomal subunit during translation. They observe that a specific mutation has occurred in the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of the ribosome. How will this mutation likely affect protein synthesis?
