Step 1
To convert the peptide sequence into an mRNA sequence, we need to use the genetic code to determine the corresponding codons for each amino acid. The peptide sequence is: NH2glu-phe-leu-ala-COQH The corresponding mRNA sequence is: 5'-GAA-UUU-CUU-GCC-3' Show more…

a) DNA sequence: TAC TAC AAA TTT GCC ATA CTG: Transcribe the DNA into mRNA: b) Use the mRNA sequence from your last answer to determine the anti-codons of the tRNAs that will bring the amino acids to the ribosome for translation. c) Now translate the mRNA (from answer 2) into an amino acid sequence using the genetic code chart in the introduction.

Below is the DNA sequence for the beginning of a specific gene. AGGTACGTTATG (Non-template strand) TCCATGGAATAC (Template strand) Using this DNA sequence and the codon table below, answer the following questions in the space below: A. Write the mRNA sequence that will be transcribed from this piece of DNA. B. Translate the mRNA molecule into a protein.

Given the DNA template: A-A-T-A-G-T-A-C-G-C-G-A-G-T-C-G-T-G-A-T-G-A-A-A-T-T-C-T A. DNA replication. Write the sequence of complementary bases produced if the above undergoes replication. B. Transcription. Using the original template, construct the sequence of nucleotide bases for the transcribed RNA strand. C. Translation. Using the RNA strand produced in part B as your mRNA molecule, translate codons in the mRNA into the amino acid sequence of a protein.
