Question
the following is a strand of a DNA

Transcribed Image Text:**Diagram Description:**
The image displays a segment of DNA, a corresponding mRNA strand, a tRNA strand, and amino acids. The DNA sequence is as follows:
3' A T A T _ _ _ T T T _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The given mRNA sequence is
C G U _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ U G A
The given tRNA sequence is U G G
The amino acid listed is Met (methionine).
"ATAT" is identified as the promoter sequence.
**Tasks:**
**a.** Using the genetic code provided in Figure 8.8, fill in the blanks to complete the segment of DNA shown.
**b.** Fill in the blanks to complete the sequence of amino acids coded for by this strand of DNA.
**c.** Write the code for the complementary strand of DNA completed in part (a).
**d.** What would be the effect if C were substituted for T at base 10?
**e.** What would be the effect if A were substituted for G at base 11?
**f.** What would be the effect if G were substituted for T at base 14?
**g.** What would be the effect if C were inserted between bases 9 and 10?
**h.** How would UV radiation affect this strand of DNA?
**i.** Identify a nonsense sequence in this strand of DNA.
