For the following double stranded DNA sequence, write out the mRNA sequence that will be synthesized from the DNA. (Hint: which strand will you use to build your mRNA?) Then write out the amino acid polypeptide that will be synthesized from this sequence and correctly label the 5’ – 3’ directionality of the mRNA and amino acid fragments:

Gene: 5’- A T G C T T C A A G T T G G T C C T C C T C C T T C G– 3’

Template: 3’- T A C G A A G T T C A A C C A G G A G G A G G A A G C– 5’

he given sequence of the DNA is

5’- A T G C T T C A A G T T G G T C C T C C T C C T T C G– 3’

Since it is in 5' to 3' direction, it is the coding strand of the DNA.

the template strand of the DNA will be complementary to the coding strand of the DNA.

The sequence of the template strand DNA: 3’- T A C G A A G T T C A A C C A G G A G G A G G A A G C– 5’

Now, the mRNA will be synthesised by the process of transcription in which template DNA will act as a template for the mRNA synthesis. The mRNA will be complementary to the template strand of the DNA.

so, the sequence of mRNA will be: 5' AUG CUU CAA GUU GGU CCU CCU CCU UCG 3'

The translation is the process in which the polypeptide chain is synthesized with mRNA as a template. The tRNA and ribosomes assist this process. The mRNA consists of the nitrogenous base sequence which acts as the template. A codon is a three-base group in the mRNA which is used in the translation process. These codons are used as a recognition site for the anticodons to bind to them and the tRNA (where the anticodons are already located on the other side) release the one corresponding amino acid (located on that tRNA molecule) to the growing polypeptide chain. This process goes on and a polypeptide chain is produced.

So, the amino acid sequence will be: MET LEU GLN VAL GLY PRO PRO PRO SER

or in one-letter code, the amino acid sequence is: M L Q V G P P P S
