Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The sequences in DNA for the amino acids are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
DNA can be expanded as deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule which is formed by the two polynucleotide chains and result in the double helix form. This form carries the genetic information.
(b)
Interpretation:
The DNA sequence that would code for the peptide tarp-glue-phi-met is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
DNA can be expanded as deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule which is formed by the two polynucleotide chains and result in the double helix form. This form carries the genetic information.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of different DNA sequences can code for the peptide given in subpart (b) is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
DNA can be expanded as deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule which is formed by the two polynucleotide chains and result in the double helix form. This form carries the genetic information.
(d)
Interpretation:
The peptide coded from the DNA sequence T-A-C-C-T-G-A-A-G is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
DNA can be expanded as deoxyribonucleic acid is known as molecule which is formed by the two polynucleotide chains and result in the double helix form. This form carries the genetic information.
(e)
Interpretation:
The DNA sequence that yield the same tripeptides same as part (d) is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
DNA can be expanded as deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule which is formed by the two polynucleotide chains and result in the double helix form. This form carries the genetic information.

- Although RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine?
