Question

1. This is your DNA “gene” ready for expression:3’ - CCC GAT CGT AGG AGT - 5’What word did you spell?2. This is the first mutated version of the original DNA “gene”:3’ - CCC GAT CGG AGG AGT - 5’What word did you spell?3. This is the second mutated version of the original DNA “gene”:3’ - CCC GCT CGG AGG AGT - 5’What word did you spell?

Answer 1

Obtaining a protein from DNA requires 2 steps: transcription (DNA to rna) and translation (RNA to protein).

Transcription:

Translation:

As we can see in the first image, the polymerase reads the DNA from 3' to 5' to obtain a 5' to 3' RNA, therefore the RNA of 3’ CCC GAT CGT AGG AGT - 5’ would be: 5' GGG CUA GCA UCC UCA 3'

Then the translation takes place, and it goes from 5' to 3', therefore using the genetic code the peptide obtained would be: Gly-Leu-Ala-Ser-Ser

using the abbreviations the word would be: GLASS
