Describe the structure of dna and the steps of protein


Answer the following questions, in a total of 350 to 700 words.

  • Describe the structure of DNA and the steps of protein synthesis.
  • Describe the relationships between the following terms:DNA
  • Chromatin material
  • Gene
  • Chromosome
  • Use the following gene in protein synthesis:TAGGACCATTTTAGCCCCShow the mRNA.
  • Show the tRNA.
  • Name the amino acids that will be placed in the polypeptide chain. (Use the codon table in Ch. 10, Figure 10.8A of Campbell Biology.)
  • A gene will direct the making of polypeptide chains, and polypeptide chains form proteins. All enzymes are proteins. Therefore, how would you explain carrying a gene for a trait that does not show up in the offspring?
  • In order for DNA to pass genetic information to the next generation, DNA must replicate successfully. Mistakes in replication could result in major problems in heredity.Explain how DNA replicates.
  • Describe the formation of the leading strand and lagging strand and include the enzymes involved.
  • Why do the legs replicate differently?
