DNA (leading strand): 5’ TGTTACATGCTAAAT 3’

DNA (lagging strand):    

mRNA:  

tRNA: 

Amino acid sequence:   

Trait: 

Answer 1

One new strand, which runs 5' to 3' towards the replication fork, is the easy one. This strand is made continuously, because the DNA polymerase is moving in the same direction as the replication fork. This continuously synthesized strand is called the leading strand.

A type of RNA found in cells. mRNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. It is also called messenger RNA.

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from an mRNA molecule.

Amino acid sequence can be written using either the three letter code or a one letter code. The exact formating of sequences varies with the application; by convention single letter codes are always capitalized

Trait is a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
