Question:

The following DNA sequence occurs in a bacterium (the promoter sequence is located to the left but is not
shown). 


5′-CAATCATGGACTGCCATGCTTCATATGAATAGTTGACAT-3′ 

3′-GTTAGTACCTGACGGTACGAAGTATACTTATCAACTGTA-5′
(a) What is the ribonucleotide sequence of the mRNA molecule that is transcribed from the template strand of this piece of DNA? Assume that both translational start and termination codons are present.
(b) What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by this mRNA?
(c) If the nucleotide indicated by the arrow undergoes a mutation that causes this C:G base pair to be deleted, what will be the polypeptide encoded by the mutant gene?
