(CDS's).
O b) There are three possible reading frames on the + DNA strand and three on

Sickle cell anemia is a widespread disease in many African countries and can be caused by a
change in the amino acid sequence from glutamic acid to valine. A patient is diagnosed with
the disease and a genetic fingerprint reveals the following DNA sequence for the gene:

polarity.
Derive the polypeptide from the mRNA molecule using the table of the genetic code

Indicate the position in the DNA molecule that could have caused the disease and write
down all possible point mutations in the DNA sequence that could have caused it. [
The polypeptide chain is polymerized at the ribosomes using t-RNA molecules. Write
down all possible t-RNA molecules with their anti-codons that are used to polymerize
the amino acid VAL. Indicate the polarity.
