The following is the nucleotide sequence of a strand of DNA from E. coli. CGTCCTCCAATCGCCCGTACCGTCTCCAGCGGAGATCTTTTCCGGTCGCAACTGAGGTTGATCAAC
The strand is transcribed from left to right and codes for a small peptide.
a) Is this the mRNA-like coding strand or template strand?
b) Which end is the 3' end and which is the 5' end?
c) What is the DNA coding strand sequence of the ORF ?
d) What is the sequence of the entire transcript (assume the +1 of transcription begins at the first nucleotide shown)?
e) What is the amino acid sequence of the peptide?
