What is a gene? [1 mark] . Describe how the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) in a eukaryote cell isdifferent from the production of mRNA in a prokaryote cell. [2 marks] . Scientists produced a short, single-stranded, artificial nucleic acid, called PNA. ThePNA binds to a small section of DNA. The scientists introduced PNA into cells and discovered that these cells producedless mRNA than cells that did not contain PNA. Suggest how PNA affected the transcription of the section of DNA. 0 1 0 1 0 1 3 Do not write outside the *02* IB/M/Jun22/7401/2 [2 marks] 4 Do not write outside the *03* IB/M/Jun22/7401/2 . 4 Describe the role of ATP in the process of translation in protein synthesis.
