DNA Assignment Example

You are given the sequence of only one strand of DNA You are given the sequence of only one strand of DNA. You need to match base pairs to make a double stranded DNA molecule DNA C-G-T-T-G-T-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-T-A-C-T (template)

DNA C-G-T-T-G-T-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-T-A-C-T (template) G-C-A-A-C-A-G-T-T-C-G-C-G-C-A-T-G-A

Based on the template strand you are to transcribe the DNA into mRNA using complimentary base pairing (A-U, T-A, C-G, &G-C) DNA C-G-T-T-G-T-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-T-A-C-T (template) G-C-A-A-C-A-G-T-T-C-G-C-G-C-A-T-G-A mRNA

DNA C-G-T-T-G-T-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-T-A-C-T (template) G-C-A-A-C-A-G-T-T-C-G-C-G-C-A-T-G-A mRNA C-G-U-U-G-U-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-U-A-C-U

Hint: divide the sequence into the codons DNA Based on the sequence in the mRNA determine the amino acid sequence (the last page has the genetic code). Hint: divide the sequence into the codons DNA C-G-T-T-G-T-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-T-A-C-T (template) G-C-A-A-C-A-G-T-T-C-G-C-G-C-A-T-G-A mRNA C-G-U-U-G-U-C-A-A-G-C-G-C-G-U-A-C-U Amino Acids
