A DNA sequence encoding a five-amino acid polypeptide is given below: ...… …
...…

a. Locate the sequence encoding the five amino acids of the polypeptide and identify the template and coding strands of DNA.
b. Give the sequence and polarity of the mRNA encoding the polypeptide.
c. Give the polypeptide sequence and identify the N-terminus and C-terminus.
d. Assuming the sequence above is a bacterial gene, identify the region encoding the Shine-Delgarno sequence.
e. What is the function of the Shine-Delgarno sequence?

Explanation:

The sequence recording the five amino acid is 5' CTA-ATC-AGA-CCG-TAC-CAT 3'

The template strand is the strand from which the mRNA is transcribed

The coding stranger has the same sequence as the mRNA except the replacement of T with U in the mRNA

b. 5' AUG-GUA-CGG-UCU-GAU-UAG 3'

c. N terminus Met-Val-Arg-Ser-Asp C terminus

d. The shine delgarno region is GGAGGA

e. This region functions as the mRNA binding site to the small subunit of the ribosome in the process of translation.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
