The following gene sequence of nucleotides is found on the template (non-coding) strand of a molecule of DNA from a bacterial cell. The promoter of the gene is highlighted in bold letters and the +1 is underlined. Use the genetic code at the end of this packet to answer the following questions. 3'-AGGCATATTACGATGCCGGTACTTGATGATGACGGACCCATTATAGGACATATG-5' a) What is the sequence of the mRNA strand that will be transcribed from this piece of DNA? Indicate which is the 5’ and which is the 3’ end of the mRNA. b) What is the amino acid sequence that will be translated from this piece of DNA
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.
The following gene sequence of
3'-AGGCATATTACGATGCCGGTACTTGATGATGACGGACCCATTATAGGACATATG-5'
a) What is the sequence of the mRNA strand that will be transcribed from this piece of DNA? Indicate which is the 5’ and which is the 3’ end of the mRNA.
b) What is the amino acid sequence that will be translated from this piece of DNA
