This is part of the Escherichia coli DNA sequence that contains an inverted repeat. (Note: top strand is the coding strand). 5'-AACGCATGAGAAAGCCCCCCGGAAGATCACCTTCCGGGGGCTTTATATAATTAGC-3' 3'-TTGCGTACTCTTTCGGGGGGCCTTCTAGTGGAAGGCCCCCGAAATATATTAATCG-5' Draw the structure of hairpin loop that will be formed during the end of transcription.
in the DNA of certain bacterial cells, 13% of the nucleotides are adenine. What are the percentages of the other nucleotides?
As you should recall, DNA, when not being actively transcribed, has a double helical structure.  This portion of the DNA has had the two strands separated in preparation of transcribing for a needed protein.  The following is one of the two complimentary strands of DNA: 3' - AACCAGTGGTATGGTGCGATGATCGATTCGAGGCTAAAATACGGATTCGTACGTAGGCACT - 5'    Q:  Based on written convention, i.e. the 3'-5' orientation, is this the coding strand or the template   strand?  ______________________________ Q:  Assuming this strand extends from base #1 to #61 (going left to right), interpret the correctly transcribed mRNA and translated polypeptide for bases 24 - 47: mRNA:      ___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___- polypeptide chain:  ________--________--________--________--________--________--________--________
