(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons that correspond with the given sequence, and then give the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide.

Concept introduction:

There are two types of nitrogenous bases in DNA: purines and pyrimidines. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases that are double ring structures. Cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidines bases that have a single ring structure. The purine bases pair with their complementary pyrimidine bases by hydrogen bonding and form a nucleotide sequence. In Ribonucleic acid (RNA) which is made up of ribose sugar and nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil, uracil pair with its complementary adenine base.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mRNA strand that can be used to produce the same protein.

Concept introduction:

Each codon is a three-base sequence in the mRNA that codes for specific amino acid. The use of a codon helps to interpret the amino acid as there are 20 amino acids coded by the 64 base codons. By converting the nucleotide sequence into codons, the nucleotide sequence can be interpreted.
