Question
Sequences of single strands of DNA are shown below for two different pieces of DNA. Assume that the DNA sequences are not at the beginning of a gene and that the spaces between each DNA triplet represent the correct reading frame. Label all sequences 5’ and 3’, where appropriate. Keep everything aligned properly.
Synthesize the complementary DNA sequence.
B. Transcribe the mRNA sequence starting with the 5’ end on the left-hand side.
C. Write the complementary tRNA sequence for each reading frame.
D. Use the genetic code table from our lecture notes or from our textbook (Bauman, 4th ed., p. 208; Bauman, 3rd ed, p. 209; Bauman, 2nd ed., p. 211) to translate the amino acid sequence of the encoded polypeptide, using the three-letter code for each amino acid. Note: Use only the 20 amino acids that are most commonly found in all living organisms.
