Answer:
DNA Replication:
Duplication of DNA molecule.
Replicate the following strand of DNA:
Original DNA A T G A A C C A T T C A G T A T G G
Complimentary DNA : T A C T T G G T A A G T C A T A C C
Transcription:
Conversion of DNA into mRNA
Transcribe the DNA to make an mRNA molecule
Complimentary DNA
: T A C T T G G T A A G T C A T A C C
mRNA Molecule
: A U G A A C C A U U C A G U A U G G
Translation:
Conversion of mRNA into proteins
Translate the mRNA into the corresponding amino acids.
mRNA Molecule
: A U G A A C C A U U C A G U A U G G
Amino Acid
: Methionine, Asparginine, Iso-leucine, Serine, Valine, Trptophan
Using the DNA sequence provided, determine the amino acids.
