Question

Anthropology lab. DNA structure and function

The illustration below represents a portion of the DNA strand for production of hemoglobin’s beta chain. The strands are in the process of separating for transcription. Transcribe and translate the entire shaded portion into an mRNA strand, and using the genetic code chart (Fig. 2.20), translate it into a part of the hemoglobin protein.

Answer 1

1. DNA STRAND:

DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a thread like chain of nuclear tides carrying genetic instructions used in the growth , development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

A monocistronic verses polycisteonic mRNA it consists of genetic information to translate only a single proteins chain.

The amino acid describe the entire amount of available free amino acids in the human body. The amino acids or organic acids containing amine and carboxyl functioning ground.
