(a)
To determine:
The amino acid sequence that corresponds to the following codon sequence
Introduction:
Amino acids are defined as the basic building blocks of proteins that consist of
(b)
To determine:
The amino acid sequences that corresponds to following codon sequence
Introduction:
Amino acids are defined as the basic building blocks of proteins that consist of amine and carboxyl as a functional group. It is an organic molecule. Proteins are formed of amino acids when smaller units of amino acids are attached to one another with the help of peptide bond to a polypeptide chain.

- Which of the following statements about the genetic code are true and which are false? Correct each false statement. a.Each codon is composed of four bases. b.Some amino acids are represented by more than one carbon. c.All codons represent an amino acid. d.Each living species is thought to have its own unique genetic code. e.The codon AUG at the beginning of a sequence is a signal for protein synthesis to begin at that codon. f.It is not known if the code contains stop signals for protein synthesis.arrow_forwardIf a codon consists of two nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be a workable code for the purpose of protein synthesis?arrow_forwardDescribe the experiment that allowed researchers to first identify the codon for a specific amino acid.arrow_forward
- Write the base sequence for the mRNA that would be formed during transcription from the DNA strand with the base sequence GCCATATTG.arrow_forwardIn messenger RNA, a codon contains how many nucleotides? a.one b.two c.three d.fourarrow_forwardHuman brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a small peptide of 32 amino acids used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. How many nitrogen bases are present in the DNA that codes for BNP?arrow_forward
- If a codon consists of four nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be workable as an amino-acid code?arrow_forwardGiven the following nucleotide sequence in DNA: 5' TCGTAGGAT 3': (a) Determine the sequence of the complementary strand of DNA. Report this sequence by writing it from its 5' end to its 3' end. (b) Write the sequence (5'-3') for the strand of mRNA that would be complementary to the original strand of DNA. (c) Assuming that this sequence is part of the coding sequence for a protein and that it is properly lined up so that the first codon of this sequence begins with the 5' nucleotide of the mRNA, write the sequences for the three anti- codons that would be complementary to this strand of mRNA. (d) What sequence of amino acids is selected by this mRNA? (The complete genetic code is listed in several sites on the Internet.)arrow_forwardDraw the complete structure of the ribonucleotide codon UAC. For what amino acid does this sequence code?arrow_forward
