RNA Transcription, Translation, and Mutation Worksheet First, here is a strand of DNA, This strand contains both a gene and its promoter region. Circle the promoter region in blue, draw a yellow box around the TATA box, draw a green box around the start codon, and draw a red box around the stop codon: TATATATATTACGTTGCATACGCTCAACGGTCGAAACTGCATGGGCAC ATATATATAATGCAACGTATGCGAGTTGCCAGCTTTGACGTACCCG Now imagine this gene has been transcribed into RNA. What would that RNA strand look like? Before the above RNA strand can be translated, a few modifications must first take place (in eukaryotes). What are they? 1) 2) 3) Using a codon chart of your choice (one can be found here, or here) translate the above RNA transcript (assume no splicing took place). Write the three letter abbreviations for the amino acids in the image below: OTOR Now imagine that a mutation took place in the original strand of DNA (marked in red) TATATATATTACGTTOCATACCCTCAACGGTCGAAACTGCATG ATATATATAATGCAACCTATO GGAGTTecCAGCTTTGACGT What type of mutation was this? What kind of effect did it have on the polypeptide?
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.
