Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The unit of genetic code, which has three nucleotides that code for amino acids, is called codon. The mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) got attached to the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm. The transfer RNA conveys amino acids to the ribosomal complex where the pairing of an anticodon of tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) takes place with complementary codon of the messenger RNA.

Again, new amino acid is carried by tRNA, which again binds to the complementary codon of mRNA. In this way, amino acids get linked to each other, forming the long chain of the polypeptides.

2) Create an MRNA strand based on the given DNA template strand: TACTTCCTATTITCTTGTCA CCGCACT 3) Using the mRNA codon chart, determine the amino acid sequence for the MRNA sequence determined in question 3. 4) Consider the following double-stranded DNA molecule: Complementary Strand: ATGTGTAGTGCGAGTTGA Template Strand: TACACATCACGCTCAACT a) What would be the amino acid sequence coded for by the template strand of the DNA molecule above?
Answer the following whether it is TRUE or FALSE: 1. For each DNA segment 3'-ACCTGCCTACCCG-5' the sequence of the mRNA molecule synthesized is 5'-TGGACGGATGGGC-3' 2. In the template strand TACCGAGGTATGTAC, the coding strand is 5'-ATGGCTCCATACATG-3'. 3. In the template strand TACCGAGGTATGTAC, the coding strand is 5'-AUGGCUCCAUACAUG-3'. 4. The template strand is the strand of DNA used for RNA synthesis. 5. Transcription forms a messenger RNA molecule with a sequence that is identical to the DNA template from which it is prepared.
Given the following DNA sequence of the template strand for a given gene: 5' TTTCCGTCTCAGGGCTGAAAATGTTTGCTCATCGAACGC3' Part A ) Write the mRNA that will be transcribed from the DNA sequence above (be sure to label the 5' and 3' ends). Part B )  Use the genetic code to write the peptide sequence translated in a cell from the mRNA in part A. Please use the 3 letter abbreviation for each amino acid.  Part C: How would the peptide synthesized in a cell be different if the mRNA was translated in vitro (i.e. not in the cell)?
