Question 1. For the following questions, use the genetic code in table 18.1. A DNA strand consists of 3'-TCAATACCCGCG-5'. What is the nucleotide order of the complimentary mRNA? What sequence of amino acids is coded by the DNA? Question 2. Which mutation do you think would be more serious? Why? AUG to AUC or AUC to AUA? CAU to CAA or CUU to AUU? UUU to UUUU or UUU to UUA? UGU to UGC or UGU to UGA?

Step 1
In this case, the DNA sequence is 3'-TCAATACCCGCG-5', so the complementary mRNA sequence would be 5'-AGUUAUGGGCGC-3'. Show more…

1. What is the resulting amino acid sequence from translating the following mRNA molecule: 5' - AUG GCC CCC UAG - 3'? 2. What is the resulting mRNA sequence from transcribing the following template strand of DNA: 3'-TAC CGT GGG ATC - 5'? What is the resulting amino acid sequence from the mRNA strand you just transcribed? 3. In comparing the mRNA sequences from questions 1 and 2, is there a mutation present? Was the resulting amino acid sequence between questions 1 and 2 different?
