Answer 1

Products of DNA cleavage are determined by specific cleavage rules, such as restriction enzyme sites, or by the demands of a given problem such as mutations. Complementary strands follow base pairing rules, while a codon chart is used for transcription and translation, with mutations potentially affecting protein function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question seems to inquire about the products of DNA sequence cleavage. Without specific cleavage rules, such as restriction enzyme sites, it is challenging to determine the exact cleavage products. However, when working with gene mutation, DNA replication, or transcription practice, one often looks for patterns or mutations, complementary strands, and codon translation to determine outcomes.

For example, a highlighted nucleotide mutation in a DNA sequence can significantly change the resulting protein. If you have a sequence and it asks to mutate a G to a C, you would replace that nucleotide and then determine the complementary strand or resulting RNA sequence, which could look like 3'-AGGTACTCAACT-5' if G was mutated to C.

If asked to transcribe and translate a given DNA sequence, you would use the codon chart to match every set of three nucleotides (codons) with their corresponding amino acids. A change in one nucleotide, or a point mutation, may change the amino acid sequence of the protein, which can affect the protein's function.
