Biology Lab Transcription & Translation Background: The coding sequence (5’ 3’ “antisense”) of DNA below leads to the production of a specific protein. That makes it a gene. The gene was sequenced from samples taken from healthy human patients. As a genetic researcher you must first transcribe the sequence into an mRNA sequence. Then, using the genetic code, you must translate the mRNA into the sequence of amino acids which is the 10 structure of the protein. The mRNA is read by the ribosome in the 5’ 3’ direction. If you were given the 3’ 5’ “sense” or “template” DNA strand you would have to transcribe each A to a U, T to an A, C to a G, and G to a C to find the mRNA sequence. Since this is the 5’ 3’ “antisense” strand and the mRNA is also 5’ 3’ you only need to replace each T with a U to find the mRNA sequence.

Transcribe the DNA sequences into mRNA sequences. 2. Translate the mRNA sequences into the amino acid sequences using the genetic code. You should discover the 10 structure of the wild type and mutated proteins. Biology Lab Transcription & Translation Results: Insert the Wild DNA Sequence: Insert the Wild mRNA Sequence: Insert the Wild Amino Acid Sequence: Insert the Mutant DNA Sequence: Insert the Mutant mRNA Sequence: Insert the Mutant Amino Acid Sequence: Biology Lab Transcription & Translation Questions: 1. What is the purpose of this experiment? 2. What is the “start” codon? 3. How many proteins (polypeptides) were produced from the wild dna sequence? 4. What was the length of the protein(s) produced from the wild dna sequence? (Number of amino acids in each polypeptide.) 5. How many proteins (polypeptides) were produced from the mutated dna sequence? 6. What was the length of the protein(s) produced from the mutated dna sequence? (Number of amino acids in each polypeptide.) 7. What is your hypothesis as to the extent of the protein mutation and how this DNA point mutation leads to carcinogenesis? Be as detailed as possible and use an extra sheet if necessary.
