Suppose you have the following DNA sequence (template strand): TACTTT. What would be the amino acid sequence that would be ultimately produced from this DNA sequence? Use the list of codons and their corresponding amino acids provided below (you will not need to use every amino acid listed here). (Hint: first determine the mRNA sequence that would result) AAA - lysine CUA - leucine CUU - leucine AUG - methionine AUU - isoleucine AUC - isoleucine UUU - phenylalanine UUA - leucine UUG - leucine GUG - valine GUA - valine GCU - alanine

The base sequences in mRNA that code for certain amino acids are Glu: GAA, GAG Val: $\quad$ GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG Met: AUG Trp: UGG Phe: UUU, UUC Asp: GAU, GAC These sequences are complementary to the sequences in DNA. a. Give the corresponding sequences in DNA for the amino acids listed above. b. Give a DNA sequence that would code for the peptide trp-glu-phe-met. c. How many different DNA sequences can code for the tetrapeptide in part b? d. What is the peptide that is produced from the DNA sequence T-A-C-C-T-G-A-A-G? e. What other DNA sequences would yield the same tripeptide as in part d?
