Question

T The template strand of a gene contains the sequence 3’- TTCAGTCGT-5’. Imagine that the nontemplate sequence was transcribed instead of the template sequence. Draw the mRNA sequence and translate it using Figure 17.6. (Be sure to pay attention to the 5’ and 3’ ends.) Predict how well the protein synthesized from the nontemplate strand would function, if at all.
