below is a base sequence for the normal protein for normal hemogoblin and the base sequence for the sickle cell hemogoblin. Transcribe and translate the normal and sickle cell DNA?​

Sagot :

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks the base sequence of the normal and sickle cell hemoglobin. The base sequence are as follows;

normal: GGG CTT CTT TTT

sickle: GGG CAT CTT TTT

ANSWERS:

normal mRNA: CCC GAA GAA AAA

normal tRNA: GGG CUU CUU UUU

sickle amino acid: Proline- Glutamate- Glutamate- Lysine

sickle mRNA: CCC GUA GAA AAA

sickle tRNA: GGG CAU CUU UUU

sickle amino acid: Proline- Valine- Glutamate- Lysine

Explanation:

Transcription is the process whereby a DNA base sequence is used as template to synthesize a mRNA strand, while translation is the process whereby a mRNA base sequence is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence (protein).

- In this question, the DNA base sequence for normal hemogoblin and the base sequence for the sickle cell hemogoblin is given as follows;

normal: GGG CTT CTT TTT

sickle: GGG CAT CTT TTT

* The transcription of both sequences using complementary base pairing is as follows:

normal DNA: GGG CTT CTT TTT

normal mRNA: CCC GAA GAA AAA

Sickle DNA: GGG CAT CTT TTT

Sickle mRNA: CCC GUA GAA AAA

* The translation of both sequences using the genetic code is as follows:

normal mRNA: CCC GAA GAA AAA

normal amino acid: Proline- Glutamate- Glutamate- Lysine

sickle mRNA: CCC GUA GAA AAA

sickle amino acid: Proline- Valine- Glutamate- Lysine
