Chapter 17.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction

To draw: The mRNA sequence transcribed from the non-template strand of a gene as well as its translated sequence.

Concept introduction:

The genetic information of DNA is encrypted in the nucleotide base sequences. These sequences are transcribed into mRNA triplets and are called codons. These mRNA triplet nucleotides are then translated to form a polypeptide.

T The template strand of a gene contains the sequence 3’- TTCAGTCGT-5’. Imagine that the nontemplate sequence was transcribed instead of the template sequence. Draw the mRNA sequence and translate it using Figure 17.6. (Be sure to pay attention to the 5’ and 3’ ends.) Predict how well the protein synthesized from the nontemplate strand would function, if at all.
A template strand of a gene contains the sequence 3’ – TTCAGTCGT – 5’. Suppose that the nontemplate sequence could be transcribed instead of the template sequence.  Draw the nontemplate sequence in 3’-5’ order (because remember you have to flip it for your brain to read it like RNA Polymerase would J).  Then draw the mRNA sequence and translate it using Figure 14.6 (or any codon chart).  Predict how well the protein synthesized from the nontemplate strand would function if at all.
Using the provided coding strand below: 5-ATCAGATGGCCGGGCCAATAGAATAGCTGT-3 Provide the mRNAstrand for the coding strand above. Type your answer in the box below. Use two dash lines in between the 5 and your first base, and two dash line between your last base and before 3' (follow formatting above). What is your Start codon? What is your Stop codon? 5-AUGGCCGGGCCAAUAGAAUAG-3 AUGGCCGGGCCAAUAGAAUAG
