The following sequence is the coding strand of a piece of DNA. Type out the corresponding template strand of DNA and the mRNA that could be made from this piece of DNA if you assume that transcription begins at the first nucleotide listed. Next, use the attached genetic code table to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide that could be made from the message and list that sequence along with those of the DNA and MRNA.

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.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:The following sequence is the coding strand of a piece of DNA. Use this to determine the template strand of DNA and the mRNA that could be synthesized from this strand, assuming transcription begins at the first nucleotide listed. Subsequently, use the genetic code table provided to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide sequence.
**Coding Strand:**
5'-TACCGTATGTTCCTTGTGATGGGTAACC-3'
### Steps and Solutions:
**1. Determine the Template Strand of DNA:**
The template strand is complementary to the coding strand. Replace each nucleotide with its complement (A with T, T with A, C with G, and G with C):
- Template Strand: 3'-ATGGCATACAAGGAACACTACCCATTGG-5'
**2. Transcribe the mRNA Sequence:**
Transcription involves creating an mRNA strand complementary to the template DNA strand. Replace Thymine (T) in DNA with Uracil (U) in mRNA:
- mRNA Sequence: 5'-AUGGCAUGUUCACUACAUGGGAUUGG-3'
**3. Translate the mRNA into a Polypeptide Sequence:**
Use the genetic code table provided to match each codon to its corresponding amino acid. The sequence reads as follows:
- AUG - Met (Start)
- GCA - Ala
- UGU - Cys
- UUC - Phe
- ACU - Thr
- ACA - Thr
- UGG - Trp
- GAU - Asp
- UGG - Trp
**Polypeptide Sequence:**
Met-Ala-Cys-Phe-Thr-Thr-Trp-Asp-Trp
### Genetic Code Table Explanation:
The table is organized with mRNA codon triplets as rows (first and second letters) and columns (third letter). Each cell lists the amino acid or function (e.g., STOP) associated with each codon. Use this table to translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides by matching three-letter codons (e.g., AUG, GCA) with their designated amino acids.
