Concept explainers
Interpretation: The sequence of RNA is complementary to the DNA sequence AUG should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Proteins: Proteins are
(RNA):
Uracil (U) base pairs with Adenine (A) and guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C). so the complementary base pair sequence to ATC would be To ATC would be UAG which codes for a stop codon specially called (Amber)
DNA pairing A pairs with T and G pairs With G pairs with C . Building a complementary DNA sequence to your strand first, then whenever you have T’s replace them with U’s.

- Is the trinucleotide in Problem 22-31 found only in DNA, found only in RNA, or found in both DNA and RNA? Explain the basis for your answer.arrow_forwardWhat amino acid sequence is coded for by the following DNA coding strand (sense strand)? (5') CTT-CGA-CCA-GAC-AGC-TTT (3')arrow_forwardDraw the complete structure of the deoxyribonucleotide sequence from which the mRNA codon in Problem 28-29 was transcribed.arrow_forward
- Draw the complete structure of the ribonucleotide codon UAC. For what amino acid does this sequence code?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_forward25-37 Which type Of RNA has a sequence exactly comple- mentary to that of DNA?arrow_forward
- 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_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_forwardFrom what DNA base sequence was the following RNA sequence transcribed? (5') UUCGCAGAGU (3')arrow_forward
- 3. Which amino acid is selected by the mRNA codon GAA? alanine glutamic acid histidine tyrosinearrow_forwardIdentify the 3 and 5 ends of the DNA segment AGTCAT.arrow_forwardWrite the DNA complement for 5-ACCGTTAAT-3. Be certain to label which is the 5 end and which is the 3 end of the complement strand.arrow_forward
