What is the role of transcription in the determination of the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain?
A.
It pairs anticodons and codons.
B.
It synthesizes an mRNA strand.
C.
It duplicates the information in DNA.
D.
It decodes the information from mRNA.
a. Give the sequence of mRNA that would be transcribed off of the bottom strand and label its 5' and 3' ends.
b. translate this RNA sequence in 1a into a protein sequence
c. Give the sequence of mRNA that would be transcribed off of the top strand and label its 5' and 3' ends.
d. Translate this RNA sequence in 1c into a protein sequence
Refer to the figure to answer these questions:a. Add labels for mRNA (including the 5′ and 3′ ends) and tRNA. Inaddition, draw in the RNA polymerase enzyme and the ribosomes,including arrows indicating the direction of movement for each.b. What are the next three amino acids to be added to polypeptide b?c. Fill in the nucleotides in the mRNA complementary to thetemplate DNA strand.d. What is the sequence of the DNA complementary to the templatestrand (as much as can be determined from the figure)?e. Does this figure show the entire polypeptide that this geneencodes? How can you tell?f. What might happen to polypeptide b after its release from theribosome?g. Does this figure depict a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell? How canyou tell?
