Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The genes can be defined as the sequence of nucleotides, which codes for the function in a genome. In all the cells present in the living organisms, the genetic information is coded by the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The information coded by the DNA guides the cell to carry out the functions; however, the DNA itself does not perform any work. The information coded by the DNA is translated to different forms which carry out the functions in the cells.

The code for a fully functional protein is actually coming from an mRNA transcript that has undergone post transcriptional processing which is essentially way too different from the original code in the DNA template.  Given:    Protein with known amino acid sequence Requirement:   Original DNA code (itemize the steps you would take to get to know the original DNA code of the protein in focus)
The code for a fully functional protein is actually coming from an mRNA transcript that has undergone post transcriptional processing which is essentially way too different from the original code in the DNA template.  Given: Cytosine; a Protein with known amino acid sequence Requirement:   Original DNA code (itemize the steps you would take to get to know the original DNA code of Cytosine in focus)
When summarizing the process of transcription in a cell as a gene is used to build a polypeptide, which of these statements accurately reflects the process of transcription? Choose ALL that apply.   A - An mRNA molecule is produced in the nucleus of the cell. B - A polypeptide is synthesized based on the sequence of nucleotides on the tRNA molecule. C - The RNA molecules contains three nucleotides in a row whose bases form a codon. D - The ribosome attaches to the DNA to build a polypeptide. E - The resulting RNA molecule is a complement of the gene on the DNA.
