Homework # 1 DNA
2. Name the four differences between RNA and DNA.
1) DNA is double stranded, RNA is single 2) DNA has Adenine, Guanine, Thiame, and Cytosine as nitro bases. With RNA, anywhere you would expect to see Thaime, you see Uracil instead. 3) DNA has no types, RNA has 3 types: mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA. 4) DNA and RNA have different sugars.
3. For the following DNS strand, provide the replicated strand : GATTACACATTAG
CTAATGTGTAATC
4. For the following DNA sequence provide the respective mRNA strand.
DNA sequence mRNA strand a. TACCAGCTATTT -- AUGGUCGAUAAA b. TTAGCAACCATT -- AAUCGUUGGUAA c. TACGGGATAATG -- AUGCCCUAUUAC
5. For each of the three DNA strands identified in question 4. provide the Amino Acid chains (protiens)
DNA sequence mRNA strand Amino Acid chains a. TACCAGCTATTT -- AUG GUC GAU AAA -- Met-Val-Asp-Lys b. TTAGCAACCATT -- AAU CGU UGG UAA -- Asn-Arg-Trp-Stop c. TACGGGATAATG -- AUG CCC UAU UAC -- Met-Pro-Tyr-Tyr
6. Define the following terms in your own words.
a. Karyotype- The finished set of chromosomes in a species or organism that we can see under a microscope and determin the gender and other charachteristics of that individual species.
b. Diploid- A cell from a living organism or species that has a full set of paired chromosomes, usually receiving one from the mother and one from the father.
c. Gene- a unique order of DNA passed down from parents to a child that determins specific charachteristics of that child.
