Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The three-letter amino-acid sequence expected from 5' CAA | GUU | AGA | CUG 3'.
Introduction:
The genetic code is a relationship between the polypeptide chain of amino acid and
b.
To determine:
The three-letter amino-acid sequence expected from 5' CAU | AAA | UUU | CGA |UGA 3'.
Introduction:
The genetic code is a relationship between the polypeptide chain of amino acid and nucleotide sequence of mRNA. Each codon is responsible for a particular amino acid, but an amino acid can be decoded from one or more codons.
c.
To determine:
The three-letter amino-acid sequence expected from 5' AUG | CCC | GGG | UUA | CCA | AUU 3'.
Introduction:
The genetic code is a relationship between the polypeptide chain of amino acid and nucleotide sequence of mRNA. Each codon is responsible for a particular amino acid, but an amino acid can be decoded from one or more codons.

- Consider the following mRNA base sequence 5CUUCAG3 a. What dipeptide is coded for by this mRNA? b. What dipeptide is formed if a point mutation converts CUU to CUC? c. What dipeptide is formed if a point mutation converts CAG to AAG? d. What dipeptide is formed if a point mutation converts CUU to CUC and CAG to AAG?arrow_forwardDraw the complete structure of the ribonucleotide codon UAC. For what amino acid does this sequence code?arrow_forwardThe following is a base sequence for an exon portion of a template strand of a DNA molecule: What is the base sequence of the hnRNA strand synthesized from the DNA template strand? What is the base sequence of the mRNA strand synthesized from the hnRNA strand? What codons are present in the mRNA strand produced from the DNA template strand? What tRNA molecule anticodons are needed to interact with the codons present in the mRNA strand produced from the template DNA strand?arrow_forward
