Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dipeptide molecule formed from the given DNA base sequence should be given.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic information is included in DNA and most of them code for a particular protein. Consecutive three base pairs represent a single amino acid. Genetic information coded in DNA, first transcribed in to mRNA sequence and using that mRNA molecule translate into an amino acid sequence which can be defined as a protein depending on the number of amino acids.
(b)
Interpretation:
The dipeptide sequence difference should be given when the point mutation is happen in the DNA sequence.
Concept Introduction:
Point mutations are DNA molecular level changes in the sequence. This includes insertions, deletions and substitutions. In given question, it only includes substitutions. Substitution point mutations whre the base pair sequence changes which means one base replace with the other base. This may cause to change the amino acid sequence of the peptide. But, there will be some occasions where the amino acid sequence does not change.

- The -chain of hemoglobin is a protein that contains 146 amino acids residues. What minimum number of nucleotides must be present in a strand of mRNA that is coded for this protein?arrow_forwardWhat is the sequence of the strand of DNA complementary to CGATACGTAC?arrow_forwardSuppose that 30% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule are deoxyguanosine 5'- monophosphate, and that during DNA replication the percentage amounts of available nucleotide bases are 20% A, 20% C. 30% G. and 30% T. Which base would be depleted first in the replication process?arrow_forward
- What sequence of bases on one strand of DNA is complementary to the following sequence on another strand? (5') GGCTAATCCGT (3')arrow_forwardDraw the complete structure of the ribonucleotide codon UAC. For what amino acid does this sequence code?arrow_forwardA mutational change alters a polypeptide by substitutingthree adjacent prolines for three glycines. What possibleeffect will this event have on the protein’s structure?arrow_forward
- The sequence of a short DNA segment is ATGGCAATAC. (a) What name do we give to the two ends (terminals) of a DNA molecule? (b) In this segment, which end is which? (c) What would be the sequence of the complementary strand?arrow_forwardhow would you catorgize mRNA rRNA tRNA with translation, tranacription and replication? for example which one would play which role?arrow_forwardWhich is an incorrect statement concerning the DNA double helix? Explain why. a) The sugar-phosphate backbone is on the inside of the helix and the base pairs are on the outside. b) The two strands are identical but proceed in opposite directions. c) The two strands are linked by glycosidic bonds. d) Only purine-purine and pyrimidine-pyrimidine base pairs can be accommodated.arrow_forward
- Write the amino acids coded by the following mRNA sequence UUU-CCA-CAG-AGU Use the three letter codes separated by dashes. Ex: Ala-Valarrow_forwardThe DNA template strand segment 3TTCAAACCGTAC5 upon transcription and translation produces the amino acid sequence Lys-Phe-Gly-Met. What is the amino acid sequence produced if a frameshift mutation occurs in which the third A base in the original DNA sequence is removed?arrow_forwardHuman and horse insulin both have two polypeptide chains, with one chain containing 21 amino acids and the other containing 30 amino acids. They differ in primary structure at two places. At position 9 in one chain, human insulin has Ser and horse insulin has Gly; at position 30 in the other chain, human insulin has Thr and horse insulin has Ala. How must the DNA for the two insulins differ?arrow_forward
