Summary Introduction

Introduction: Genetic code is a standard table that gives information about the standard set of codons containing three nucleotides that code for a particular amino acid. The genetic code is universal. If the mRNA sequence is known as the amino acid sequence, it can be predicted using genetic code.

The peptide hormone oxytocin induces labor by stimulating the concentration of uterine smooth muscle. Its amino acid sequence is as follows: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly.Write a messenger RNA sequence for that sequence. Write the sequence of the two strands of DNA nucleotides that carry the information. for that protein.
Given is the 30 nucleotides in the human gene for hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells): 5’ TAC-CAC-GTG-GAC-TGA-GGA-CTC-CTC-TTC-AGA 3’ a. What is the complementary strand? b.Deduce the mRNA in this coding region. c.What is the amino acid sequence based on this mRNA? d. A very important mutation in human hemoglobin occurs in this DNA sequence, where the T at nucleotide 20 is replace with an A.  The mutant hemoglobin is called sickle cell hemoglobin and is associated with severe anemia. What is the amino acid replacement that results in sickle-cell hemoglobin?
