Below is the template DNA sequence for an entire (short) gene that contains no introns. TRANSCRIBE this entire gene sequence: 3'- T C G A C T A C C A T G G T G T C A G A A T T T G T G G -5' 2. TRANSLATE the gene sequence, using the same rules that a ribosome would use on it. 3. Describe what you did in order to translate this sequence. (2-3 sentences) 4. IF the TGGTG sequence in the middle of this gene were an intron, then would this alter the translation that you just performed? Explain your answer. (2-4 sentences)

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates the genetic code table for RNA codons, a critical component in the translation process of proteins. This table maps the three-nucleotide RNA codons to their corresponding amino acids or stop signals during protein synthesis.
### Codon Table Breakdown:
#### Structure:
- **Rows and Columns:** The table is organized by three sets of bases: the first base (vertical, left side), the second base (horizontal, top side), and the third base (vertical, right side), following the sequence convention of 5' to 3'.
- **Total Codons:** The table consists of 64 codons in total, representing combinations of the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U).
#### Key Features:
- **Start Codon:**
- **AUG** (shown in green) is the start codon and codes for Methionine (Met), signifying the beginning of protein synthesis.
- **Stop Codons:**
- **UAA, UAG,** and **UGA** (highlighted in red) serve as stop signals, terminating protein synthesis by not coding for any amino acid.
#### Amino Acids:
Each remaining codon corresponds to a specific amino acid:
- **UUU, UUC** – Phenylalanine (Phe)
- **UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG** – Leucine (Leu)
- **UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG** – Serine (Ser)
- **UAU, UAC** – Tyrosine (Tyr)
- **UGU, UGC** – Cysteine (Cys)
- **UGG** – Tryptophan (Trp)
- **CUC, CUC, CUA, CUG** – Leucine (Leu)
- **CCU, CCC, CCA, CCG** – Proline (Pro)
- **CAU, CAC** – Histidine (His)
- **CAA, CAG** – Glutamine (Gln)
- **CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG** – Arginine (Arg)
- **AUU, AUC, AUA** – Isoleucine (Ile)
- **ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG** – Threonine (Thr)
