which does not play a role in translation?

2. Do you think mutation has any direct relationship with codon? Why/Why not? Please explain in your own words. [Max 200 words]

7. Strand A represents one side of a DNA molecule, while Strand B represents a growing RNA molecule. Where would this interaction be expected to take place? * STRAND A STRAND B KEY ADENINE THYMINE GUANINE CYTOSINE URACIL cell membrane O ribosome nucleus vacuole

Section 2: Protein Synthesis Protein synthesis is the process whereby a gene of interest is transcribed into a strand of mRNA, which is subsequently translated into an amino acid sequence that will ultimately fold into a functional and highly specific protein.

3. DNA Template: CTA - GCG - ATA - AAA - TTT - ATT  mrNA: tRNA: Amino acid sequence:

4. Mark the following statements about the genetic code as TRUE or FALSE: The genetic code is completely universal. One amino acid can be specified by more than one codon. Each codon can specify multiple amino acids. Each codon is 3 nucleotides long, yielding 64 different codons. There are three different "stop" codons each coding for a termination amino acid. For each false statement in # 4, explain why it is false.

#13

4. What does the amino acid chain form? Codon chart: We interpret MRNA 3 base pairs at a time. This is known as a codon. A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into an amino acid sequence. The full set of relationships between codons and amino acids (or stop signals) is called the genetic code. The genetic code is often summarized in a table like the one below. Second letter C G UAU) TUGU)

10. If a cell produces a protein that has the following amino acid sequence, can you determine the DNA sequence of the gene that codes for this protein? Glu - Ala - Pro-Cys - Lys - Glu - Phe - Asp - Leu
