Question

26. Suppose the two guanosine (G) nucleotides in #3 above were changed to two cytosine (C) nucleotides. What is the new amino acid chain?

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the completed question can be found in the attachment below.

During protein synthesis, a sequence of three mRNA nucleotides (called codons) correspond to specific amino acids. From the question, the change in guanosine nucleotides will change the sequence as follow

DNA:   T--A--C--A--A--C--T--A--C--T--T--C--T--T--T--C--T--T--A--A--A

mRNA:             A--U--G|-U--U--G|-A--U--G|-A--A--G|-A--A--A|-G--A--A|-U--U--U

Amino Acids:       met --     leu   --   met   --  lys    --   lys    --    Glu   --  Phe

The new amino acid sequence is represented above from the new DNA sequence.
