Summary Introduction

To write:

The nucleotide sequence of RNA produced from the transcription of DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA.

Introduction:

A nucleotide is formed from three components “pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases”. Nucleic acids are complex molecules found in living organisms. They are formed from the interaction of many nucleotides. These are DNA and RNA. DNA stands for “deoxyribonucleic acid” and RNA stands for “ribonucleic acid”

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The process of conversion of DNA into a form of RNA (mRNA) is termed as transcription. DNA and RNA contain the same type of nitrogenous bases. However, thymine is replaced by another nitrogenous base uracil (U) in RNA.

Therefore, the RNA transcript formed from DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA is GCUAAUGAAG.

Conclusion

GCUAAUGAAG is the nucleotide sequence of RNA produced from the transcription of DNA with sequence CGATTACTTA.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait? (4 pts)? 12pt v R Paragraph V BIU A श्र > B
There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
