Use the DNA Sequence below to answer the following questions: 3' TACTTACTCGTCAACCTT 5' a) Write the corresponding mRNA coding sequence. /1 b) Use the table below to determine the amino acid sequence. /1 c) A nucleotide substitution occurs in the DNA template at position 14, where adenine becomes thymine. Write the new mRNA coding sequence and amino acid sequence that would result from this substitution /2 d) What type of mutation would this yield? /1

Examine the DNA sequence listed below: Use the lower strand of this DNA molecule as the template. Transcribe the DNA to mRNA and translate the mRNA to amino acid sequences: 5' CCA ATG TTG GCTATCGAGACATAA 3' 3' GGTTAC AACCGATAG CTCTGTATT 5' The amino acid sequence this DNA codes for is amino acids long. The first amino acid is [missing information]. The 3rd amino acid is [missing information]. The last amino acid is [missing information]. Select |

The base sequences in mRNA that code for certain amino acids are Glu: GAA, GAG Val: 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 peptide 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?
