The following sequence of double stranded DNA encodes a hypothetical protein called GEN in a bacteria. Transcription starts at a

nd includes the C-G base pair in Bold. The underlined T-A base pair indicates the transcription terminator. 3' -AAGCGGATACCTCCCAGTAGATGCTCCGGGGCTAGTGATTTCGAAC-5
A) What are the first 9 bases of the transcribed RNA? Be sure to label the 5' and 3" ends of the RNA 5' CCCCUAUGG3'
B) What are the first 4 amino acids of the subsequent polypeptide? Be sure to label the N- and C- termini. N-MET-GLU-GLY-HIS
C) How many amino acids long is the GEN polypeptide? 10 AMINO ACIDS
D) You identify a strain of bacteria containing a mutant tRNA that is capable of adding a tryptophan residue when it recognizes the stop codon UAG in the mRNA. The GEN polypeptide would be (longer, shorter, the same) in the presence of the mutart (nonsense suppressor) Trp tRNA?

Answer:

A) AUG GAG GGU

B) N-MET-GLU-GLY-HIS

C) 10 amino acids

D) The stop codon here is UAA, instead of UAG.  If a tryptophane residue is added where the stop codon is, the GEN polypeptide would be longer

Explanation:

First we must obtain the the complementary chain or mRNA

A) AUG start codon is complementary to DNA TAC triplet, and GAG is complementary to CTC, and GGU to CCA (running from left to right towards 5'DNA direction (AAGCGGATACCTCCCAGTAGATGCTCCGGGGCTAGTGATTTCGAAC-5)

B) TAC corresponds to Methionine, GAG to Glutamate, GGU to Glycine, and CAU to Histidine

C) UAA is the stop codon, that is complementary where the DNA triplet is ATT.  From AUG to UAA, we can have 10 amino acids transcribed

D) If a trp is included where the stop codon is UAA, then the mRNA would be longer with a consequent traduction of a longer GEN polypeptide

Neporo4naja [7]
After reading the contents of the table shown in the attached picture, I am pretty sure that the <span>statement which is the best interpretation of the material presented in the chart is being shown in the first option:  </span><span>Scientific explanations are built by combining evidence that can be observed with what people already know. I choose this option as I recognized sort of 'cause&effect' information. In the first one you can see some well-known facts and in the other picture you can see accurate information gathered by scientists due to those facts.

Anika [276]
This method of shooting is called SNAP SHOOTING.
Snap shooting is a type of shooting which involves throwing both the rear and the front sights of a gun into  line between the eye and the target and pulling the trigger. All these have to be done in one motion. This type of shooting is normally used when the target is at a close range.
