Question

Genetics question about COVID-19.

what are the mRNA codon sequences of the
2019-dominant and 2020-dominant Spike proteins? 

(how did you determine the actual sequence?)

4. Consider the now dominant variant of the SARS-CoV-2 called the D614G mutation:
(A)
(C)
Spike
Nucleocapsid
Membrane
S1 subunit
S2 subunit
Envelope
614
RNA viral genome
NTD
RBD
FP
HR1
HR2 TM CT
(B)
Binding site to ACE2
receptor in human cells
N terminal
domain
$1
Fusion
HR2
protein
S2
Transmembrane
domain and
cytoplasmic tail
Trends in Genetics
a) The mutation changes an Aspartate (D, Asp) to a Glycine (G, Gly) at nucleotide position 614
(that's why it's called the D614G mutant) in the S1 subunit of the Spike protein. Using only
the information above and a codon table, what are the mRNA codon sequences of the
2019-dominant and 2020-dominant Spike proteins? Note the figure above is not needed to
answer the question. Report in 5' to 3' orientation
