Question
Chapter 18.8, Problem 69PP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: We need to comprehend the corresponding section of mRNA which is produced from the given DNA template.
Concept Introduction: The molecule in living cells which carry codes from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm are said to be messenger RNA or mRNA.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The three-letter and one-letter abbreviations for the corresponding peptide segment should be determined.
Concept Introduction: A codon represents the sequence of three DNA or RNA

5'-ATGGCAATCCTCAAACGCTGT-3'.
a. What is the sequence of complementary template strand?
b. What is the sequence of the mRNA that would be produced during
transcription from this segment of DNA?
5. Information transmitted by mRNA needs to be short-lived so that the cell can maintain
regulatory checks and balances. On the other hand, the structure of DNA must be stable. How
does the difference in structure make mRNA less stable than DNA?
