Question 1
1.
Transcribe the following DNA:TAC AAA TAT CGG TTT CCG CAA TCG ATA AGG GGG GCA
This represents the normal mRNA.
Question 2
2.
Translate the mRNA in your answer above into a protein sequence. (spell each
amino acid correctly and put a dash and no spaces between each).This represents
the normal protein.
