- 3. Which amino acid is selected by the mRNA codon GAA? alanine glutamic acid histidine tyrosinearrow_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_forwardWrite the base sequence for the mRNA that would be formed during transcription from the DNA strand with the base sequence GCCATATTG.arrow_forward
- -114 How could life have evolved if DNA leads to RNA which leads to protein, but it takes many proteins to replicate DNA and to transcribe DNA into RNA?arrow_forwardConsider the following DNA base sequence 3TTAATA5 a. What dipeptide is formed from the transcription and translation of this DNA segment? b. What dipeptide is formed if a DNA point mutation converts ATA to ATG? c. What dipeptide is formed if a DNA point mutation converts ATA to AGA? d. What dipeptide is formed if a DNA point mutation converts TTA to TTT?arrow_forwardAn hnRNA molecule contains three exons, with the middle one and one other being alternative exons. How many different mRNA molecules can be produced from this hnRNA molecule?arrow_forward
- For the trinucleotide 5 UCG 3 a. How many nucleotide subunits are present in its backbone? b. How many nucleotide nonbackbone subunits are present? c. How many phosphodiester linkages are present? d. What is the overall charge carried by the trinucleotide?arrow_forwardGiven the following nucleotide sequence in DNA: 5'ACGCGATTC3': (a) Determine the sequence of the complementary strand of DNA. Report this sequence by writing it from its 5' end to its 3' end. (b) Write the sequence (5'-3r) for the strand of mRNA that would be complementary to the original strand of DNA. (c) Assuming that this sequence is part of the coding sequence for a protein and that it is properly lined up so that the first codon of this sequence begins with the 5' nucleotide of the mRNA, write the sequences for the three anti- codons that would be complementary to this strand of mRNA. (d) What sequence of amino acids is selected by this mRNA? (The complete genetic code is listed in several sites on the Internet.)arrow_forwardList codon sequences for the following amino acids: (a) Ala (b) Phe (c) Leu (d) Tyrarrow_forward
