Question

1. This group question is based from the following information:

DNA template molecule is: 5 prime (5') end: A-G-C-T-A-T-C-T-A-C-G-A: 3 prime (3') end

1a. What will be produced by DNA replication? (Start from the 5 prime end and list each complementary DNA base in order all the way to the 3 prime end.)

1b. What is the mRNA that will be produced? (Again start from the 5 prime end and list each complementary RNA base in order all the way to the 3 prime end.)

1c. What is the tRNA anticodon that will be needed to match the first mRNA codon in the sequence written for the answer to the previous question?

1d. What is the sequence of amino acids that will be produced by translating the mRNA sequence written for the answer to two questions above? (Read codons left to right)

Explanation / Answer

1a: 3' : T-C-G-T-A-G-A-T-A-G-C-T : 5'

1.b: The direction of the resulting mRNA formed from transcribing DNA will be opposite.

5' : A-G-C-A-U-C-U-A-U-C-G-A : 3'

1c. The first mRNA codon is AGC, so the tRNA anticodon will be UCG. Because A binds with U and C binds with G.

1d. By pairing the nucleotides with the complimentary letter.

UCG:Serine, UAG:Stop codon, AUA: isoleucine, GCU: Alanine.
