a.What is the DNA sequence that encodes for the word for this protein? Be sure to note the 5' and 3' ends.
To determine the DNA sequence that encodes for the word for this protein, you need to perform a process called transcription to convert the given RNA sequence into its complementary DNA sequence.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by reviewing the base pairing rules between DNA and RNA. In RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C).
Given RNA sequence: 5' C U A C C U C A G A U U C G C C U A C C U 3'
2. Convert each RNA base to its complementary DNA base:
U (RNA) --> A (DNA)
A (RNA) --> T (DNA)
C (RNA) --> G (DNA)
G (RNA) --> C (DNA)
Complementary DNA sequence: 5' G A T G G A G T C T A A G C G G A T G G A 3'
So, the DNA sequence that encodes for the word for this protein, with respect to the 5' and 3' ends, is 5' G A T G G A G T C T A A G C G G A T G G A 3'.
