Summary Introduction

To determine: The first start codon in the given DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand.

Introduction: There are two type of nucleic acid: DNA and RNA. Both the nucleic acids are made up of three components: sugar, nitrogen base and phosphate group. The nitrogen base in case of DNA is adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine.

(2)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sequence of complementary mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) bases following the start codon.

Introduction: RNA is essential biomolecules that plays an important role in coding, and expression of genes. There are three types of RNA: mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), and tRNA (transfer RNA). All three RNAs are essential for formation of proteins.

(3)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The amino acids translated by the given mRNA triplets.

Introduction: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 22 standard amino acids that are involved in formation of proteins. these amino acids are encoded by specific mRNA codons.

Illustrate the process of translation by providing the correct bases for tRNA strand given the mRNA template strand. (Remember that mRNA has uracil instead of thymine.) Template Strand: GCUAUGUUU
The peptide hormone oxytocin induces labor by stimulating the concentration of uterine smooth muscle. Its amino acid sequence is as follows: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly.Write a messenger RNA sequence for that sequence. Write the sequence of the two strands of DNA nucleotides that carry the information. for that protein.
