a. The column to the far left identifies the sequence type. Based on the nucleotides given, fill in the words "template" and "coding" (non-template) for the two DNA strands as soon as you figure out which is which. (hint: look at mRNA) b. In the second and last columns, write the polarity of the ends of each sequence (5', 3', N or C). c. The remaining columns represent transcriptional and translational alignments. Fill in all nucleotides, assuming that the template sequences in the table are read from LEFT to RIGHT d. Using the mRNA codon table provided on the next page, determine the polypeptide sequence. This sequence is from the middle of a coding sequence, therefore you do not need a start sequence. T DNA DNA mRNA codon tRNA anticodon polypeptide A C GLY G U G G G C A U

Question
### Transcription of DNA Coding and Template Strands to mRNA and Polypeptides

**Instructions for Interpreting the Sequence Grid:**

1. **Sequence Types and Orientation:**
   - Identify sequence types by filling in “template” and “coding” for the DNA strands based on provided nucleotides. Use mRNA clues for identification.
   - Note the polarity for each sequence in the second and last columns (5’, 3’, N, or C).

2. **Transcription and Translation Alignment:**
   - Fill in nucleotides assuming the template sequences are read from **LEFT to RIGHT**.

3. **Polypeptide Determination Using mRNA Codon Table:**
   - Use the mRNA sequence to determine the polypeptide sequence. The sequence starts in the middle of a coding sequence, so a start sequence is not needed.

**Grid Details:**

When the table is read from **LEFT to RIGHT**:
```
- DNA Strand 1: (Place "template" or "coding" appropriately) 
- DNA Strand 2: (Place "template" or "coding" appropriately)

| DNA Strand   |   |   | T |   | G | C | A |
|--------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| mRNA codon   |   |   | A | C | G | U |   |
| tRNA anticodon|   |   |   |   |   | U | G | G |
| polypeptide  |   |   |   |   |   | GLY |   |
```

4. **Repetition with Orientation Reversal:**
   - Repeat the steps (1a-1d) with template sequences read from **RIGHT to LEFT**.

**Grid Details (Right to Left):**

When the table is read from **RIGHT to LEFT**:
```
- DNA Strand 1: (Place "template" or "coding" appropriately)
- DNA Strand 2: (Place "template" or "coding" appropriately)

| DNA Strand   |   |   | T |   | G | C | A |
|--------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| mRNA codon   |   |   | A | C | G | U |   |
| tRNA anticodon|   |   |   |   |   | U | G |
