Question
1. The nontemplate strand of a segment of double-
helical DNA contains the sequence:
(5')CGCTATAGCGTTTAG (3') (a) What is the MRNA
base sequence that can be transcribed from this
double helical DNA assuming you already have a ready
RNA polymerase present and everything else needed
for RNA transcription? Label the sequence ends and list
what is required for RNA Pol to work. (b) What amino
acid sequence could be coded by the MRNA in (a)'s
answer assuming the AUG start codon is just upstream
of the MRNA (not shown in the sequence provided)?
Use table in Figure 27-7 of the Lehninger 7 th ed
"Dictionary of amino acid code words in mRNAs" and
write the peptide according to standard convention
with abbreviations for the amino acids. (c) If the wrong
strand was transcribed and then translated from the
section of double stranded DNA shown above, what
would the resulting amino acid sequence be? What
would the mRNA sequence be? Explain your answer
and label all strands.
