The following sequence represents a few codons present in on

The following sequence represents a few codons present in one strand of DNA. This strand of DNA is the template strand used in transcription. Provide the codons present on the RNA that will be synthesized from the DNA template strand. Next, provide the amino acids on the protein that will be translated from the RNA strand (use the universal genetic code to determine this). ATG CTA GAG GTG TAA

Solution

ATG CTA GAG GTG TAA - Template strand

The coding strand of DNA will be complementary to the template strand.

TAC GAT CTC CAC ATT - Coding strand.

mRNA will be similar to coding strand with an exception. Instead of T there will be U in mRNA.

So the mRNA sequence is as follows :

UAC GAU CUC CAC AUU - mRNA

From the above mRNA sequence, the amino acid sequence is as follows:

Tyrosine - Aspartic acid - Leucine - Histidine - Isoleucine
