Help with understanding what they want me to do with this biology instructions for a Lab on DNA and Protein Synthesis.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

When they say CGT CTC TTC GGA CAC are they speaking about- adenine,guanine,thymine,and cytosine? also how do i correspond this to the mRNA chart if they are not saying those words?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

@pooja195

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

@InExileWeTrust can u help at all?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

I can do my best, I am trying to find a way to explain this in a way you may understand.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ok :)

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Okay, so for question one, do you know what pairs with what?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Cytosine pairs with Guanine and Adenine pairs with Thymine.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Great! Now pair the molecules exactly like that for question one. You know that cytosine pairs with guanine and so on so forth.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

CGT CTC TTC GGA CAC NEW ROW- GCA GAG AAG CCT GTG

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

@InExileWeTrust

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Do i now just pair that with the words for the mRNA strand?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Correct! And yes, but remember that it is slightly different, follow the instructions for question 2

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

so now its GCA GAG AAG GUG?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ok heres what i did :)

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

You are missing one last code for the second one. I only counted four translated...

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

so its this now :)

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Beautiful! Nice work!

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ok so now these questions i have to answer I'm in the process of answering will u check them when I'm done ?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Sure thing! I can do my best!

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Here is the question and what I worked on together its confusing on what they are asking can you clarify? @InExileWeTrust

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

I can't read the letters in the photo, they look backwards and I KNOW I am not dyslexic..

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

hehehehe omg u made me laugh lol xD ur not its the stupid camera xD

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

*smiles* Okay, I was confused for a second. I literally went back here and made sure it wasn't me.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

its ATC CAG TAC TAC TAG GTC ATG ATG there thats the sequence lol xD

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

OMG i do that sometimes with the camera like what how like what xD then u wonder how on earth the teacher grades it xD

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Maybe she prints it out and then holds it facing the mirror

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Ahhhhh makes sense :P

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

The sequence is correct, if this is supposed to be mRNA you may want to look it over. If not, you are good.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Oh so with this chart i have to write that coding strand then do it with mRNA too ?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ya its for DNA :P

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

No, I wasn't sure.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Okay, then awesome!

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

@InExileWeTrust :) Here is the questions :P

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

I believe the answers are correct, I am a little rusty on this aspect. You may want to verify your answers with someone else.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

:) alright hey honestly thank you so so so so so sooooo much for the help it helped me understand so in the future i can 100% know what to do :) so thanks :D @InExileWeTrust

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

It's not a problem! Glad I was able to help!
