Analyze the following amino acid sequence and write down a potential mRNA sequence from which this sequence might have been translated. Use the codon table in your book to determine a possible mRNA sequence. Amino Acid Sequence 1: H3N+-Methionine-Valine-Histidine-Leucine-Threonine-Proline-Glutamic Acid-Glutamic Acid-COO- (a) Consider Amino Acid Sequence 2. How is Amino Acid Sequence 2 different from Amino Acid Sequence 1? Amino Acid Sequence 2: H3N+-Methionine-Valine-Histidine-Leucine-Threonine-Proline-Valine-Glutamic Acid-COO- (b) Write a potential mRNA sequence for Amino Acid sequence 2, using the same codons for any given amino acid if it is present in both sequences.
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
Analyze the following amino acid sequence and write down a potential mRNA sequence from which this sequence might have been translated. Use the codon table in your book to determine a possible mRNA sequence.
Amino Acid Sequence 1:
H3N+-Methionine-Valine-Histidine-Leucine-Threonine-Proline-Glutamic Acid-Glutamic Acid-COO-
- (a) Consider Amino Acid Sequence 2. How is Amino Acid Sequence 2 different from Amino Acid Sequence 1?
Amino Acid Sequence 2:
H3N+-Methionine-Valine-Histidine-Leucine-Threonine-Proline-Valine-Glutamic Acid-COO-
(b) Write a potential mRNA sequence for Amino Acid sequence 2, using the same codons for any given amino acid if it is present in both sequences.
