A double-stranded DNA molecule with the following sequence produces a polypeptide that is exactly five amino acids long. TAC ATG ATC ATT TCA CGG AATTTC TAG CAT GTA ATG TAC TAG TAA AGT GCC TTA AAG ATC GTA CAT a. Which strand is the template strand? b. Label each strand with its correct polarity (5' and 3'). c. Assume that transcription occurs on the bottom strand from left to right. Give the base sequence and label the polarity for the anti-codon that inserts the fourth amino acid into the growing polypeptide chain.

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'

Below is a double stranded sequence of DNA found on chromosome 17 of the human genome. After analyzing the nucleotide sequences for potential open reading frames, you discover that the sequence consists of two overlapping genes. For each of these two genes, perform the following: 3’ CGC ATG ATA CGG CCA TAC CGC TAA TGC TAC GGG GGC CAT CAG TAG GCT5’ 5’ GCG TAC TAT GCC GGT ATG GCG ATT ACG ATG CCC CCG GTA GTC ATC CGA 3’ Step 1. Write down the appropriate mRNA which will encode for each protein. Include your 5’ and 3’ ends so that your mRNA has a “direction”. Step 2. Indicate what the amino acid sequence of the resulting proteins will be. Include your amino and carboxy termini as well. You can use the first 3 letters of the amino acid for simplicity.

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?
