11) The following diagram represents the central dogma of molecular biology. a) Consider a fragment of DNA with the following sequence of bases: GTAGCCTAG. What will be the mRNA sequence transcribed from this DNA? Which three amino acids would the codons code for? b) Will the same protein obtained from the mRNA of mRNA from the complementary strand of the DNA be the same? Explain
c) The anticodon found on the tRNA the carries the amino acids valine is CAC. What would be the corresponding sequences of bases in the mRNA and on the DNA?
d) Considering the fact that the total of nitrogenous bases of DNA in a mammal is equal to 100, if there are 20% for adenine in it, what is the percentage of guanine? Explain
e) Compare and contrast the structure of DNA and RNA. Explain the structure of a nucleotide. f) Enzymes are proteins that act biological catalysts by speeding up chemical reactions that take place in cells. How can a frameshift mutation affect an enzyme?
g) How was the fact that genetic code is universal fundamental for the development of transgenic organisms?
