- What is the survival value of the degeneracy of the genetic code? – Define what degeneracy means and then comment on why it would have survival value. Please keep answer between 2-3 sentencesarrow_forwardRefer to a genetic code table for the question. below is a portion of the template strand of a particular gene sequence. Which of the following would be the correct sequence of amino acids in the protein that this portion of the gene encodes? (Note that there are no entrance in this gene sequence, and this portion is found in the middle of the coding sequence, past the start codon, so you should transcribe and translate the entire portion of this sequence) template DNA : 3' - ACG GGT TCC TTT AAC GCG TAG -5' A) Thr-Gly-Ser-Phe-Asn-Ala B) Cys-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg-Ile C) there is not enough information given to determine the amino acid sequence of this portion of the gene .arrow_forwardUse the first picture and codon table to answer the following questions.arrow_forward

The positively-charged electrode of the electrophoresis gel is shown at the bottom of the diagram; the negatively-charged electrode is at the top. The mixture in each well included the original DNA fragment, all four dNTPs, one type of ddNTP as labeled in the diagram, and other necessary components of the dideoxy chain-termination reaction. The results are below. ddATP ddGTP ddCTP ddTTP (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) +. 62. Which of the following represents the sequence of the template strand?"
