Question:

The base sequences in mRNA that code for certain amino acids are
Glu: GAA, GAG
Val: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG
Met: AUG
Trp: UGG
Phe: UUU,UUC
Asp: GAU, GAC
These sequences are complementary to the sequences in DNA.
a. Give the corresponding sequences in DNA for the amino acids listed above.
b. Give a DNA sequence that would code for the peptide trp-glu-phe-met.
c. How many different DNA sequences can code for the peptide in part b?
d. What is the peptide that is produced from the DNA sequence T-A-C-C-T-G-aVA-G?
e. What other DNA sequences would yield the same tripeptide as in part d?
