Chapter 1, Problem 19P
A portion of a polypeptide contains the amino acids Trp-Lys-Met-Ala-Val. Write the possible mRNA and template strand DNA sequences. (Hint: Use A/G and T/C to indicate that either adenine/guanine or thymine/cytosine could occur in particular position, and use N to indicate that any DNA

Consider the following wild-type double-stranded DNA sequence:
5' TATGAA AGT3
non-transcribed strand (sense strand)
5'
3' ATACTTTCA
transcribed strand
In the space below, write ONE of the possible DNA sequences of the transcribed
strand shown above that results from BOTH a single substitution mutation of the
first codon following the start codon that would also cause a nonsense mutation.
Use the mRNA codon chart in the Appendix of your manual to help you.

Below is a polinucleotide sequence of the non-template strand of a coding DNA sequence. Use the info of this molecule as well as the attached addendum to demonstrate the flow of genetic information to protein sequence as described by the so-called “Central Dogma” . Clearly indicate the direction of your polynucleotide strands and peptide/protein.
Example: (USE SPACES BETWEEN CODONS): ' XXX XXX XXX XXX '
Example: (USE SPACES BETWEEN AMINOACIDS): Polypeptide: direction-XXX-XXX-XXX-direction

A polypeptide has the following amino acid sequence: Met-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Glu-Gly The amino acid sequence of this polypeptide was determined in a series of mutants listed in parts a through e. For each mutant, indicate the type of mutation that occurred in the DNA (single-base substitution, insertion, deletion) and the phenotypic effect of the mutation (nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift, etc.). a. Mutant 1: Met-Ser-Ser-Arg-Leu-Glu-Gly b. Mutant 2: Met-Ser-Pro c. Mutant 3: Met-Ser-Pro-Asp-Trp-Arg-Asp-Lys d. Mutant 4: Met-Ser-Pro-Glu-Gly e. Mutant 5: Met-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Leu-Glu-Gly
