Question
The double-stranded DNA sequence for a bacteria is shown below and it's coding for a
hypothetical protein. The strand on top reads 5' to 3' left to right, while the strand on the bottom
reads 5' to 3' right to left. The nucleotides are numbered 1 to 100. REMINDER: For this
problem, transcription begins with and includes the red and underlined C/G (top strand/bottom
strand) base pair and RNA polymerase proceeds from left to right along the DNA.
