Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 3NST
The following represent deoxyribonucleotide sequences in the template strand of DNA:
- (a) For each strand, determine the mRNA sequence that would be derived from transcription.
- (b) Using Figure 13.7, determine the amino acid sequence that is encoded by these mRNAs.
- (c) For sequence 1, what is the sequence of the coding DNA strand?
HINT: This problem asks you to consider the outcome of the transfer of complementary information from DNA to RNA and to determine the amino acids encoded by this information. The key to its solution is to remember that in RNA, uracil is complementary to adenine, and that while DNA stores genetic information in the cell, the code that is ultimately translated is contained in the RNA and is complementary to the template strand of DNA.
