Answer:
DNA Replication:
Replicate the following strand of DNA:
Original DNA: A T G A A C CA T T C A G T A T G G
Complementary DNA:
Remember that the complimentary base pairs in DNA are Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine, or A-T and G-C. This means that if the original sequence is:
A T G A A C C A T T C A G T A T G G
Then the compliment is (replace with the opposite base pairs):
T A C T T G G T A A G T C A T A C C
Transcription:
Transcribe the DNA to make an mRNA molecule
COMPLIMENTARY DNA:
mRNA Molecule:
So if our complimentary DNA (antisense stand) is T A C T T G G T A A G T C A T A C C then to transcribe, we basically create another complimentary strand, but for mRNA, we use Uracil instead of Thymine:
A U G A A C C A U U C A G U A U G G
Translation:
Translate the mRNA into the corresponding amino acids.
mRNA MOLECULE:
AMINO ACID:
Using the DNA sequence provided, determine the amino acids.
Next, take each codon (3-base set) to the table and record the corresponding protein:
A U G = Methionine (start)
A A C = Asparagine
C A U = Histidine
U C A = Serine
G U A = Valine
U G G = Tryptophan
ORIGINAL DNA: A T G G G T C T A G C G A A A G A T
Complementary DNA:
mRNA DNA Molecule:
Amino Acid:
And we do it all again:
A T G G G T C T A G C G A A A G A T = original DNA
T A C C C A G A T C G C T T T C T A = complementry DNA
A U G G G U C U A G C G A A A G A U = mRNA
A U G = Methionine (start)
G G U = Glysine
C U A = Leucine
G C G = Alanine
A A A = Lysine
G A U = Aspartate
