Answer:

Part A: Thr-Leu-Val

Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU

Explanation:

When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:

DNA                RNA

A-T                  A-U

T-A                  T-A

C-G                 G-C

G-C                 C-G

Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:

DNA :   TGG - AAC - CAA  

mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU

Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time).  Let's take the first codon in your sequence:

ACC

1st  2nd   3rd

 A     C       C

Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.

At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.

Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.

The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.

Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.

In an analysis of the nucleotide composition of DNA, which of the following proportions will be found?
katrin [286]

Answer:

With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).

Explanation:

The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:

  • <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
  • <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>

From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

<em>     5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>

Everyone in Squidward’s family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color in his hometown of Squid Valley.
Colt1911 [192]

All their children will have heterozygous genes because squidward is "purebred", or homozygous dominant. His wife has to be homozygous recessive for a recessive trait to show up. Every time you cross a homozygous dominant trait with a homozygous recessive trait, you will get heterozygous kids. This means all of them will have light blue skin.
