2. The sequence of starting region of one DNA gene is
shown:
5' GCATATGGCTTTTCCGCCGCGGCGACGGCTGCGC
3'.
1) Please write down the sequence of the complementary
strand (the template strand) in the 5' to 3' direction.
2) If the template strand is used as a template for
transcription, what is the sequence of the resulting
mRNA?
3) From this sequence, please figure out the first codon in
protein synthesis.
4) If the mRNA is used for translation, please figure out
the polypeptide sequence (starting from the first
codon).
5) If one nucleotide is mutated, and resulting sequence is:
5'
GCATATGGCTTTTCGGCCGCGGCGACGGCTGCG
C 3'.
What is the polypeptide sequence? Please explain what
type of mutation this is.
