Summary Introduction

To review:

The following parts for the given deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence:

$5’-\text{ATGCCCGGGTTAAGAWTTTAAATGA}-3’$

a. The complementary sequence for the DNA strand.

b. The strand which can be used as a template for transcription and its reason.

c. The sequence of the transcribed mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid), and the amino acid sequence of the translated peptide.

Introduction:

The process of DNA synthesis, mRNA synthesis, and protein synthesis is called replication, transcription, and translation, respectively. This is collectively called central dogma that takes place in each and every cell of an organism. It helps in passing on the genetic information to the progenies without any changes.
