MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Silent Mutation, Point Mutation, Messenger Rna
Document Summary
Dna mutations activity: transcribe and translate your original dna. Review those terms and write a short definition. Transcription: transcription is the process in which the genetic information in the dna is copied into the messenger rna. (dna - mrna) transcription takes place in the nucleus. Translation: translation is the process in which the information in the mrna is used to synthesize protein containing amino acids (mrna- protein) Met, pro, gly, gly, glu, ser, leu, leu, ile, gly, leu: click on the edited dna, you will now see the original sequence used to make the protein. Atgccgggcggcgagagcttgctaattggcttataa: edit the dna by changing the first triplet to aaa. Upon changing the first triplet into aaa, the amino acid sequenced was altered into leu-gly-ile-leu-leu- ser-glu-gly-gly-pro-lys: return the triplet to its original state (atg). Now place an additional a after the g, your strand will read atga. The new protein produced a new amino acid sequence which is.
