Question

Use your codon chart to determine the amino acid sequences. Remember to read through the strand and ONLY START ON AUG and STOP WHEN IT TELLS YOU TO STOP (with the codons UAA, UAG, UGA). Follow the example below:

EXAMPLE:
DNA → AGA TAC CTC GTG TGT ATC CTT

mRNA → UCU AUG GAG CAC ACA UAG GAA

Protein → START Glu His Thre STOP



a) DNA → TAC CTC CGG TGC ATC

mRNA →

Protein →


b) DNA → ACA TAC ACA CGG AGG GTA ACT GCA

mRNA →

Protein →

Answer 1

a)

mRNA → AUG GAG GCC ACG UAG

Protein → START Glu Ala Thr STOP

b)

mRNA → UGU AUG UGU GCC UCC CAU UGA CGU

Protein → START Cys Ala Ser His STOP
