Not what you're looking for?
1. What sequence of nucleotide pairs in a Drosophila gene will encode the amino acid sequence met-trp-phe-trp-met (reading from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus)?
2. A wild type gene contains the trinucleotide-pair sequence:
was 5'-GAG-3' changed to:5'-GTG-3'
3'CTC -5' 3'-CAC-5'
If the second base pair in this gene segment will change from A-T to T-A, will it still code the glutamic acid?
3. A single nucleotide addition followed by a single nucleotide deletion approximately 20 bp apart in the DNA causes a change in the protein sequence from
-His-Thr-Glu-Asp-Trp-Leu-His-Gln-Asp-
to -His-Asp-Arg-Gly-Leu-Ala-Thr-Ser-Asp-
Which nucleotide has been added and which deleted? What are the original and the new mRNA sequences?

1. What sequence of nucleotide pairs in a Drosophila gene will encode the amino acid sequence met-trp-phe-trp-met (reading from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus)?
Response:
All you need to do is look up the codons on the chart and write them down in order, like this:
met--trp--phe--trp--met
ATG-TGG-TTT-TGG-ATG
(If you wanted, you could have had another triplet for phe.
Therefore, the sequence is:
ATGTGGTTTTGGATG

Identifying Variables in Science Experiments, Part 2
Using sample experiments, test yourself to see if you can identify independent, dependent, and controlled variables. Identifying variables is key in understanding and developing experiments. The questions are biology related, but this can be applied to any area of science.
