Question

If the DNA nucleotides read 3'-ATG-CGT-GAC-5', the amino acid sequence of the resulting polypeptide

(protein) would be what?

Answer 1

5’ – TAC-GCA-CTG-3’

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the Chargaff’s complementary base pairing rule purine always pairs with a pyrimidine.

Purines include adenine (A) and cytosine (C)

Pyrimidine include thymine (T) and guanine (G)

Thus an A always pair with T and C always pair with G

Thus, the resulting poly peptide for the given amino acid sequence is

3'-ATG-CGT-GAC-5'

5’ – TAC-GCA-CTG-3’
