Question

Transcribe and translate EACH of the three following DNA gene sequences. Turn these in using the graphic organizer. The letters represent the DNA N-base sequences of the genes.
The first is the original gene. The next two are mutations of the original. Note that the changes (mutations) are shown in red.
Original Gene sequence 3'-T A C C C T T T A G T A G C C A C T-5

Mutated gene sequence 1 3’-T A C G C T T T A G T A G C C A T T-5'

Mutated gene sequence 2 3’-T A A C C T T T A C T A G G C A C T-5’

Explanation / Answer

Basically you have been giving 3 DNA strands. You need to Transcribe these into RNA Strands now. So pretty much you are going to replace each letter with another letter here is the chart. RNA has U instead of T. C and G are complementary A and U(or T) are complementary. So for the first one you would put this: 3'-T A C C C T T T A G T A G C C A C T-5 (Original) 5'-A U G G G A A A U C A U C G G U G A-3' (Transcription) So basically for every T you will replace it with an A, for every C you will replace it with a G, for every A you will replace with a U. I'm not sure what the question means by graphic organizer. But I am pretty sure that this is how you do it. But I am trying to remember information that I learned almost 4 years ago and have not used since I took my Genetics class in HS. So I would double check my work. Then you should have some kind of chart or something that tells you what each three represent so like in the transcription AUG = something then GGA = something and so forth until the last three equals a stop sequence.
