Question

TAC AAG ATA CTG GGT ATA ACT

1. What is the complimentary DNA sequence

2. If the ORIGIONAL DNA sequence (not the one you determined in question 1) was the template strand, what would the RNA sequence built off of that be?

3. Translate the RNA from question 2 into peptide (protein).

4. Suppose the A in position 9 of the ORIGIONAL DNA sequence were mutated to a T. What would your new protein be?

5. Suppose a C were added between the Gs in positions 13 and 14 in the ORIGIONAL DNA sequence. What would your new protein be?

Explanation / Answer

1. Complimentary DNA sequence : ATG TTC TAT GAC CCA TAT TGA

2. RNA Sequence built will be : AUG UUC UAU GAC CCA UAU UGA

3. Peptide protein : MET PHE TYR ASP PRO TYR STOP

4. New Protein : MET PHE STOP ASP PRO TYR STOP

5. New Protein : MET PHE STOP ASP ARG ILE LEU

In making complementary DNA - A pairs with T and G pairs with C.

And

In determining RNA sequence...
A is replaced by U ,G with C, C with G And T with A
