Question

  1. using the codon wheel to the right, transcribe and translate the following dna sequence: dna - t a c c g a t t t a c g t c t a t c g rna - u a c c g a u u u a c g u c u a u c g a u c g. polypeptide chain label the following: m. dna n. mrna o. p. amino acid q. trna r. ribosome x. codon z. codon

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

DNA: TAC CGA TTT ACG TCT ATC G
mRNA: AUG GCU AAA UGC AGA UAG C

Step2: Divide mRNA into codons

mRNA: AUG / GCU / AAA / UGC / AGA / UAG

Step3: Translate codons using codon wheel

  • AUG: Methionine
  • GCU: Alanine
  • AAA: Lysine
  • UGC: Cysteine
  • AGA: Arginine
  • UAG: Stop codon (translation stops here)

Answer:

Methionine - Alanine - Lysine - Cysteine - Arginine
