How Does DNA Determine the Traits of an Organism? Introduction: In this simulation, you will examine the DNA sequence of a fictitious organism called the Snork. Snorks only have one chromosome with 6 genes on it. Your job is to analyze the DNA of a Snork and determine what traits the organism has. SNORK DNA AND TRAITS tRNA anticodon Amino Acid Number ACC 20 AGC 16 CGA 2 AAC 4 CGC 3 GGG 5 AGG 7 AAA 8 UUU 9 GGU 12 UAU 13 CCC 1 AUC 6 CUA 10 GGA 11 Amino Acid Sequence Trait 20-11-13 hairless 20-12-13 hairy 20-21-21 plump 13-14-15 skinny 16-2 - 5 4 legged 16-4 - 5 2 legged 12-7-8 round head 5-7-8 block head 9-8 - 8 no tail 9-4 - 8 tail 11-3-2 slanted eyes 11-3-3 wide round eyes 6-6-10 male 6-6-14 female Observations and Analysis of Snork DNA Suppose you analyze a Snork’s chromosome and you determine that it has the DNA sequence below. Each gene is separated by the vertical lines – since each gene has ___ bases, each gene codes for ___ amino acids. Your job is to determine the sequence of amino acids that this DNA codes for. In the chart below, write the mRNA code, the tRNA code, and the amino acid (A.A.) sequence that the DNA codes for.
