Question

1. If a structural gene contains 300 DNA nucleotides, how many amino acids will be used in the protein synthesis?

2. If a protein has 150 amino acids, how many DNA nucleotides would make up the structural gene?

3. Describe in a sentence the relationship between the gene sequence and the tRNA sequence? (Look at both columns how are they similar or different)

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1). If a structural gene contains 300 DNA nucleotides, how many amino acids will be used in the protein synthesis?

2). If a protein has 150 amino acids, how many DNA nucleotides would make up the structural gene?

3). Describe in a sentence the relationship between the gene sequence and the tRNA sequence? (Look at both columns how are they similar or different)

4) DNA molecules contain information for building specific Proteins. In a three-dimensional view a DNA molecule looks like a spiral staircase; this is correctly called a Helix. The constant parts of DNA molecules are the Phosphate and Deoxyribose molecules, forming the DNA-ladder uprights, or backbones. The Information of DNA is actually coded in the sequence of nitrogen containing Bases, which are bound together to form the “rungs” of the DNA ladder. When the four DNA bases are combined in different three-base sequences called Triplets different Amino acids of the protein are called for. It is said that the N-containing bases of DNA are Complementary which means that only certain bases can fit together or interact together. Specifically this means that Cytosine can only bind with guanine, and adenine can only bind with Thymine.
