QUESTION 1 Write the order of nucleotides in mRNA that would be transcribed from the following strand of DNA: GTATACCAGTCATTTGTC.    1. Sometimes, a mistake occurs in the translation of an mRNA strand. Suppose that the reading of the mRNA strand in question 1 began, by mistake, at the second nucleotide instead of the first. The first codon would be AUA. Write the sequence of amino acids that would be formed. 2. Suppose the bases of the DNA strand in question 1 were not transcribed correctly and the mRNA read: CACAUGGUUAGUAAGCAG How many mistakes were made in transcription? Wite the abbreviations for the amino acids  that would be formed by translation of the mRNA

QUESTION 1

Write the order of nucleotides in mRNA that would be transcribed from the following strand of DNA: GTATACCAGTCATTTGTC. 

 

1. Sometimes, a mistake occurs in the translation of an mRNA strand. Suppose that the reading of the mRNA strand in question 1 began, by mistake, at the second nucleotide instead of the first. The first codon would be AUA. Write the sequence of amino acids that would be formed.

2. Suppose the bases of the DNA strand in question 1 were not transcribed correctly and the mRNA read: CACAUGGUUAGUAAGCAG

How many mistakes were made in transcription? Wite the abbreviations for the amino acids  that would be formed by translation of the mRNA
