OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

first tell me the sequence of mRNA. u know how to do that..we did it yest..:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every 3 is a pair? reading the first letter of each pair?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

no according to antisense strand sequence..u have to write the complemetary bases to each nucleotide in the strand. the sequence thus obtained would be your mrna

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea i did that before, isnt it like t=u or a=u i cant remember

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

t=a a=u g=c c=g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thatll help, give me a sec to try and figure it out lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to fill in the bottom where the question marks are right?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AUG,AAG,CUG

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

perfect...now the first codon is AUG right? can u tell me..which trna is complimentary to this sequence? there are 3 nucletide sequences given in ur picture at the right hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IDK....

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

what is complimentary to AUG?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TAC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i seriously dont know what im looking for

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

its U here..bcuz we are talking about rna.. so UAC right? now can u find a trna with UAC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whered you get U from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it Ala

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its Lys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shrutipande9

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

sorry had internet issues... when u find the complimentary sequence for AUG which is going to be trna, then it does not have T but U. UAC is met..right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the next one is Lys

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

correct..:)

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

and then u can correctly guess the right option..:)
