(choose chapter or problem)

The genetic code consists of a series of three-base words that each code for a given amino acid. (a) Using the selections from the genetic code shown below, determine the amino acid sequence coded by the following segment of RNA: UCCACAGCCUAUAUGGCAAACUUGAAG AUG _ methionine CCU _ proline CAU _ histidine UGG _ tryptophan AAG _ lysine UAU _ tyrosine GCC _ alanine UUG _ leucine CGG _ arginine UGU _ cysteine AAC _ asparagine ACA_ threonine UCC _ serine GCA_ alanine UCA_ serine (b) What is the complementary DNA sequence from which this RNA sequence was made? (c) If you were sequencing the DNA fragment in part (b), how many complementary chain pieces would you obtain in the tube containing ddATP?
