Question

transcribe the following strand of dna
taccggacattagccact

translate the stand above

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

In transcription, DNA's T pairs with mRNA's A, A pairs with U, C pairs with G, G pairs with C.
DNA: T A C C G G A C A T T A G C C A C T
mRNA: A U G G C C U G U A A U C G G U G A

Step2: Translate mRNA to amino acids

Use codon table:
AUG (Met), GCC (Ala), UGU (Cys), AAU (Asn), CGG (Arg), UGA (stop).
So the amino acid sequence is Met - Ala - Cys - Asn - Arg (stop).

Answer:

Transcription: AUGGCCUGUAAUCGGUGA
Translation: Methionine - Alanine - Cysteine - Asparagine - Arginine (stop)
