- You are provided with a sample of aardvark DNA. As part of your investigation of this DNA, you transcribe mRNA from the DNA and purify it. You then separate the two strands of the DNA and analyze the base composition of each strand and of the mRNA transcripts. You obtain the following results: A G C T UDNA strand #1 19.1 26.0 31.0 23.9 0DNA strand #1 24.2 30.8 25.7 19.3 0mRNA 19.0 25.9 30.8 0 24.3Which strand of the DNA is the “sense” strand that serves as the template for mRNA synthesis?arrow_forwardTranscribe the following DNA sequence. Then translate the resulting mRNA transcript. GGACTACGTTCAAAAGCCATGGATTCGGTA Transcription: Translation: What would be the result of the following mutations in the DNA sequence above? How would the polypeptide change? How would you characterize this mutation? (Nucleotides are numbered from left to right.) a) nucleotide number 16 changes from a G to an A b) nucleotide number 12 changes from an A to a T c) nucleotide number 8 changes from a G to an A d) an insertion of a C between nucleotides 14 and 15.arrow_forwardBackground: DNA nucleotides (i.e A, T, G, and C) are naturally found in a paired, or bonded, arrangement (i.e. the double helix) within the nucleus of every cell. This structure makes the process of replication that occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis very reliable. The purpose of DNA, though, is not simply to make copies of itself, but to provide a set of instructions for the synthesis or "construction" of biomolecules, such as proteins. Why is transcription (i.e. the formation of an RNA copy of a given gene) a necessary step in the "construction" process highlighted above? What is the cell looking to ultimately do with this RNA information?arrow_forward
