Discuss the following statement: “from the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone, the complete amino acid sequence of a protein can be deduced by applying the genetic code. thus, protein biochemistry has become superfluous because there is nothing more that can be learned by studying the protein.”
a) Explain the difference between a genome and a transcriptome. Do all cells in an
organism have the same genomes and or transcriptomes?
b) Explain a method you could use to compare transcriptomes, and what you can
learn from comparing transcriptomes.
Using the example above, transcribe the following DNA strand into mRNA and translate that strand into a polypeptide chain, identifying the codons, anticodons, and amino acid sequence.

Mutagen: Example: Description: Mutagen: Example: Description:arrow_forwardintrons: A)are parts of the new strand replaced with DNA nucleotides during replication B)Are joined together with other introns to make the mature mRNA C)are found in prokaryotic cells D)are binding sites for repressors; therefore introns are involved in controlling gene expression E)do not contain codons or information about proteins; they are removed from the mRNA during splicing/editing of mRNAarrow_forwardSeveral different nucleic acids are involved in the process of getting a protein produced from a gene. DNA contains the "genetic code" for the protein. DNA is double-stranded, but only one strand is transcribed into MRNA. The MRNA then goes into the cytoplasm where it is translated into protein with the help of TRNA. At each stage of the process, there is base complementarity (A pairs with T/U and C pairs with G) between the nucleic acids involved to ensure the integrity of the DNA blueprint for the protein being produced. Therefore, some of the four strands of nucleic acids involved will match (except U replaces T in RNA) and some will have base complementarity. Indicate whether there is matching (1) or base complementarity (2) between the following nucleic acids. DNA sense strand and MRNA DNA sense strand and tRNA DNA antisense strand and MRNA MRNA and TRNAarrow_forward
