Question

(1 point) How many amino acids were formed from the "start" to the stopping point of the RNA sequence?
(1 point) How many nitrogen bases from the beginning of the DNA strand were "overlooked" until the "start" condon was found?
(1 point) Using the genetic code dictionary, make a segment of mRNA showing the condons for an imaginary protein having 5 amino acids. Include start and stop signals and show the amino acids above the condons.
(1 point) Show how a change in one base will affect the protein you have designed.

Answer 1

Please help me im begging u!!!

Answer 2

Not sure I fully understand the first two questions, just looks strange to me, however the last two should not be a problem:
So we want to make a peptide consising of 5 amino acids + stop codon. that give us 6*3=18 bases we need to set together:
A example of that could be:
AUG|UUU|CCC|UCU|GAU|UAG
The amino acids would then become if we translate:
Met, Phe, Pro, Ser, Tyr.
Here is UAG the stop codon and UAG the start codon.
Now lets see how 1 base can change the protein, fx that the polar amino acids serine become a amino acid hydrofobic with a radikal like alanine (Ala)
AUG|UUU|CCC|GCU|GAU|UAG
Met, Phe, Pro, Ala, Tyr.
As you can see we the amino acid can change if the base changes, however depending on the position there is a chance that amino acid become the same fx. UUU and UUC is the same amino acid - Phealanine (Phe).

Answer 3

wait are these the answers to the last two?

Answer 4

i dont get which ones which

Answer 5

nvm, what does fx mean?

Answer 6

for an example. the full text answer both 3 and 4

Answer 7

can u come online after like 8 hours? I need more help but over here its like 3:00 in the morning...

Answer 8
