<span>Out of the following given
choices;</span>
A. The Geiger counter
being used to detect radiation is broken.
B. Two or more samples
we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.
C. A virus contaminated
the reaction in which the probe was made.
D. The human genome
might contain at least one viral gene.
The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself
in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of
viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host
cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells
of the host cells.
1) ctg act gct aat (you are correct)
2) GAC UGA CGA UUA
* remember for mRNA, a pairs with u
3) Aspartic Acid (Asp), Arginine (Arg), Leucine (Leu)
4) substitution (t changed to g)
Explanation: from GAC TGA CGA TTA
to GAC GGA CGA TTA
5) new mRNA strand: CUG CCU GCU AAU
6) yes, because the amino acids changed, which will code for different proteins.
Hope that helped! And your teacher did a really bad job forming this question, like how there is no starting codon and (no clarity) you don’t know which DNA sequences to use.
