3. The top strand of the double stranded DNA shown below is the template strand. (A) What is the sequence of the mRNA that would be produced during transcription? Label the 5' and 3' ends and show the 5' end at the left. (B) What is the amino acid sequence that would be produced if this mRNA is translated in the first reading frame? Label the amino terminus and carboxy terminus of the polypeptide chain. (8 pt.) 5'-GTCCCGGTTACTCGAGAT-3' 3'-CAGGGCCAATGAGCTCTA-5'

Consider the following sequence of double-stranded DNA (both strands shown): 5'-TTTATGGGTTGGCCCGGGTCATGATT-3' 3'-AAATACCCAACCGGGCCCAGTACTAA-5' Transcribe each of these sequences into mRNA. Which DNA sequence (top or bottom strand) produces a functional mRNA containing a start codon? What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide produced from this mRNA?

The following DNA sequence occurs in a bacterium (the promoter sequence is located to the left but is not shown). 1 $5^{\prime}-$ CATCATGGACTGCCATGCTTCATATGAATAGTTGACAT-3' 3 - GTTAGTACCTGACGGTACGMGTATACTTATCMCTGTA-5 (a) What is the ribonucleotide sequence of the mRNA molecule that is transcribed from the template strand of this piece of DNA? Assume that both translational start and termination codons are present. (b) What is the amino acid sequence of the polypetide encoded by this mRNA? (c) If the nucleotide indicated by the arrow undergoes a mutation that causes this $C: G$ base pair to be deleted, what will be the polypeptide encoded by the mutant gene?
