Please be detailed. Discuss the concept of the universality of
the genetic code. Mention the exceptions to this universality. What
are your thoughts on how the universality of the genetic code makes
recombinant DNA technology possible?
Explain the meaning of genetic code, and describe how the
genetic code functions.
a. Explain the one gene-one polypeptide theory.
b. The DNA sequence of a gene determines the sequence of amino
acids in a polypeptide chain. What studies have demonstrated this
relationship?
c. In what molecule are codons found? How many nucleotides are in
each codon? How many nucleotides are available to make up each
codon? How many different types of codons are possible? How many
amino acids are...
Genetic Code:
Using the standard genetic code, write a sequence encoding the
peptide "MASTERMIX"
How many different sequences can encode this peptide?
How many genetic codes have been described? (Hint: search NCBI
Genetic Codes)
How, in a general way, do these alternative codes tend to differ
from the standard genetic code?
How is selenocysteine encoded?
