Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The base sequence in mRNA transcribed from the base sequence in DNA (CGCTAGCATGCAATATTG) is to be identified. If not, then the correct DNA sequence is to be determined.
(b)
Interpretation:
The base sequence in mRNA transcribed from the base sequence in DNA (CGCTAGCATGCAATATTG) is to be identified. If not, then the correct DNA sequence is to be determined.
(c)
Interpretation:
The base sequence in mRNA transcribed from the base sequence in DNA (CGCTAGCATGCAATATTG) is to be identified. If not, then the correct DNA sequence is to be determined.
(d)
Interpretation:
The base sequence in mRNA transcribed from the base sequence in DNA (CGCTAGCATGCAATATTG) is to be identified. If not, then the correct DNA sequence is to be determined.
(e)
Interpretation
The base sequence in mRNA transcribed from the base sequence in DNA (CGCTAGCATGCAATATTG) is to be identified. If not, then the correct DNA sequence is to be determined.

Introduction To Chemistry
- a Describe the three components of a nucleotide. b How does the structure of an RNA nucleotide differ from that of a DNA nucleotide?arrow_forwardThe 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 tetrapeptide in part b? d. What is the peptide that is produced from the DNA sequence TACCTGAAG? e. What other DNA sequences would yield the same tripeptide as in part d?arrow_forwardAlthough RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine? A virus is a particle that contains DNA or RNA that is surrounded by a coat of protein that can replicate only in a host cell. The influencza virus shown in this electron microscope image is an RNA virus.arrow_forward
- List the postulates of the Watson-Crick model of DNA secondary structure.arrow_forwardThe base composition for one of the strands of a DNA double helix is 23% A, 31% C, 22% G, and 24% T. What is the percent base composition for the other strand of the DNA double helix?arrow_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
