How does a cell Interpret DNA?
Procedure
1.
A certain gene has the following sequence of
nucleotides:
GACAAGTCCACAATC
2.
From left to right, write the sequence of the mRNA
molecule transcribed from this gene.
3.
Look at your genetic code diagram in your packet.
Reading the mRNA codons from left to right, write
the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide
translated from the mRNA.
4.
Repeat step 3, reading the codons from right to
left.
Analyze and Conclude
1.
Applying Concepts Why did steps 3 and 4 produce
different polypeptides?
2.
Drawing Conclusions Do cells usually decode
nucleotides in one direction only or in either
direction?
