· A strain of yeast requiring both tyrosine (tyr-) and arginine (arg-) is crossed to the wild type. After meiosis, the following 10 asci are dissected. Classify each ascus as to the segregational type (PD, NPD, TT). What is the linkage relationship between these two loci?
1 arg-tyr- arg+tyr+ arg+tyr+ arg-tyr-
2 arg+tyr+ arg+try+ arg-tyr- arg-tyr-
3 arg-tyr+ arg-tyr+ arg+tyr- arg+tyr-
4 arg-tyr- arg-tyr- arg+tyr+ arg+tyr+
5 arg-tyr- arg-tyr+ arg+tyr- arg+tyr+
6 arg+tyr+ arg+tyr+ arg-tyr- arg-tyr-
7 arg-tyr- arg+tyr+ arg-tyr+ arg+tyr-
8 arg+tyr+ arg+tyr+ arg-tyr- arg-tyr-
9 arg+tyr+ arg-tyr- arg-tyr- arg+tyr+
10 arg-tyr- arg+tyr+ arg+tyr+ arg-tyr-

1) Given your understanding of transcription and translation, fill in the items below with the proper sequences. Please align your answers under the nontemplate DNA strand. Ignore RNA stop codons if they are present.
Nontemplate strand of DNA: 5′- A T G T A T G C C A A T G C A -3′
Template strand of DNA:
RNA:
Anticodons on tRNA:
Amino acid sequence:
2) Original template strand of DNA: 3′- T A C G C A A G C A A T A C C G A C G A A -5′
a. Transcribe this sequence:
RNA:
b. Translate the RNA sequence. Ignore start/stop codons if present.
Amino acid sequence:
3) The table below lists five single-base point mutations that may occur in DNA. What happens to the amino acid sequence as a result of each mutation? (Position 1 refers to the first base at the 3′ end of the DNA strand. Position 21 would refer to the last base at the 5’ end.). Note that amino acids are numbered from L à R as 1-7.
Original template strand: 3’ TACGCAAGCAATACCGACGAA 5’
RNA strand:
Amino acid sequence: (number aa’s 1-7 L-R)
