Question

The sequence of coding strand of a DNA molecule is given below. Assume that it is read from left to right. CCTACCTTATGCCAAGTTGGGGATAAACTC The left end of this molecule is the + end. How many amino acids will be in the protein translated from this sequence? tion) of the fo from this sequence The label on the end of the protein that is translated first is the # end.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the number of sequence on DNA there should be 10 amino acid. But after 7 amino acid there is stop codon so only 7 amino acid can be synthesized.

Explanation:

DNA sequence given here is CCTACCTTATGCCAAGTTGGGGATAAACTC it is read from left to right. When this DNA is transcribed mRNA sequence will be-

GGAUGGAAUACGGUUCAACCCCUAUUUGAG. These 30 nucleotide will synthesize following amino acids-

GAG UUU AUC CCC AAC UUG GCA UAA GGU AGG-

Glutamine, Phenylalanine, Isoleusine, Proline, Asparagine , Leucine, Alanine, stop codon. As ribosome reach on stop codon protein synthesis stopped and process aborted.
