Document Summary
Cox 1 (1,542 bp long) found in the human mitochondrial genome (16. 6kb) Circular, intact, present in many copies in cell, polyploid, 16. 6 k units long. If you can visually see the 15000 bp. Start codon atg and the stop codon is down there. Encodes a protein called cytochrome c oxidase sub unit 1. Part of our energy production and found in eukaryotes. Note: when asked to determine the number of amino acids don"t just dive the nucleotide length by 3, subtract 1 amino acid because the last codon doesn"t code for anything. Within each cell, genetic information flows from dna to rna to protein. The journey from dna to rna to protein. The mrna sequence generated from the template strand actually matches the sequence of the coding strand with the exception that the t"s are used obviously. Transcription: the conversion of dna encoded information into rna encoded ---> produces a transcript.
