Genetics

I am having trouble answering this question. Can you please provide a correct answer and good explanation?

A portion of the template strand of DNA has the following sequence:

5' ATA ATC GCG CGC ATG 3'

Assume the first codon for the peptide begins with the first nucleotide of the portion of mRNA and there are no introns (May not start at AUG).

Enter the mRNA and amino acid sequence below

Use the one letter abbreviations for the amino acids

mRNA codons 5' Answer    Answer    Answer    Answer    Answer    3' amino acids NH2 Answer Answer Answer Answer Answer COOH

A portion of the template strand of DNA has the following sequence 5' ATA ATC GCG CGC ATG 3' Assume the first codon for the peptide begins with the first nucleotide of the portion of mRNA and there are no introns (May not start at AUG) Enter the mRNA and amino acid sequence below Use the one letter abbreviations for the amino acids mRNA codons 5 amino acids NH COOH

Explanation / Answer

When the template is 5' ATA ATC GCG CGC ATG 3'

then the mRNA will be

5' AUA AUC GCG CGC AUG 3'

The protein encoded by the mRNA is Ile-Ile-Ala-Arg-Met

The 5' Amino terminus is Isoleucine and the 3' COOH group is the Methionine end

the thymine of DNA is replaced by an Urasil in RNA
