(b)
Interpretation:
The base sequence in a complementary DNA segment should be written for
Concept Introduction :
There are mainly two types of nucleic acids that are present in human body known as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Both of them are the polymers of repeating monomer units called as nucleotides. Complimentary base pairing is used to describe the manner by which the nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule align with each other. They are also responsible for the double-helix structure of DNA molecule.

- The 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_forwardDo the DNA sequences ATGC and CGTA represent the same compound? Explain.arrow_forwarda Describe the three components of a nucleotide. b How does the structure of an RNA nucleotide differ from that of a DNA nucleotide?arrow_forward
- Describe the structural differences between DNA and RNA. The monomers in nucleic acids are called nucleotides. What are the three parts of a nucleotide? The compounds adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine are called the nucleic acid bases. What structural features in these compounds make them bases? DNA exhibits a double-helical structure. Explain. Describe how the complementary base pairing between the two individual strands of DNA forms the overall double-helical structure. How is complementary base pairing involved in the replication of the DNA molecule during cell division? Describe how protein synthesis occurs. What is a codon, and what is a gene? The deletion of a single base from a DNA molecule can constitute a fatal mutation, whereas substitution of one base for another is often not as serious a mutation. Explain.arrow_forwardDraw a schematic diagram of DNA. Show the double-helix structure, the molecular backbone, and the complementary nature of the base pairs.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
