Question

Of the following, which is the most current description of a gene? A) a unit of heredity that causes formation of a phenotypic B) a discrete unit of hereditary information that consists C) a DNA sequence that is expressed to form a functional product either RNA or polypeptide of a sequence of amino acids D) a DNA subunit that codes for a single complete protein expressed to form a functional product either RNA or polypeptide DNA-RNA sequence combination that results in an enzymatic product The following questions refer to this table of codons. A peptide has the sequence NH_2-phe-pro-lys-gly-phe-pro-COOH. Which of the following sequences in the coding strand of the DNA could code for this peptide? A) 5' ACT-TAC-CAT-AAA-CAT-TAC-UGA B)3'UUU-CCC-AAA-GGG-UUU-CCC C)5' TTT-CCC-AAA-GGG-TTT-CCC D) 5' GGG-AAA-TTT-AAA-CCC-ACT-GGG E) 3 AUG-AAA-GGG-TIT-CCC-AAA-GGG

Explanation / Answer

25. Option c is the right answer.

Other options stand to be wrong as Gene is made of DANA and not amino acids, it it's made up of only DNA and not both DNA and RNA, generally genes code for subbing of protein instead of the entire protein, multi me deemed instead of one Gene is required to show the phenotypic character.

Thus, option C is the right answer.
