Question

Instructions: 1 Using the DNA sequence, make a complementary RNA strand from both the human and the cow. Write the RNA directly below the DNA strand (remember to substitute Us for Ts in RNA) 2. Use the codon table posted below (or the circular one on the first page) to determine which amino acids are assembled to make the insulin protein in both the cow and the human. Human DNA DNA CCA TAG CAC GTT ACA ACG TGA AGG AAA RNA GGU GLY Amino acid Cow DNA DNA CCA TAG CAT GTT ACA ACG CGA AGG GAC RNA Amino acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please find the complete table attached as an image

Explanation:

This task is describing the processes of transcription and translation, which are the two processes involved in gene expression. The DNA of a human and cow is given in the table of the attached image and we're asked to transcribe into a complementary RNA, and subsequently translate into an amino acid using the CODON table (genetic code).

- Transcription is the process whereby DNA is used as a template for the synthesis of RNA based on complementary base pairing i.e. A-U, G-C, T-A etc.

- Translation is the process whereby RNA transcript is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON, where each of this codon specifies an amino acid.

The table has been completed and attached below. Note that in the amino acids row;

GLY means Glycine

ILE means Isoleucine

VAL means Valine

GLN means Glutamine

CYS means Cysteine

THR means Threonine

SER means Serine

PHE means Phenylalanine

ALA means Alanine

LEU means Leucine
