6. A gene has a base sequence that begins with TAA TGA CTA GCT. Answer the following questions using the codon table from question #5
a) What RNA sequence would be produced during transcription? Hint: In RNA, A pairs with U. (1
point)
b) What are the first four amino acids coded by this sequence? Hint Look up the amino acids on
the codon table. (1 point)
c) The gene has a frameshift mutation, where the fifth base in the sequence is deleted. Write the
new DNA base sequence. Hint: Rewrite the sequence without the fifth base. (1 point)
d) What is the new RNA sequence? Hint in RNA, A pairs with U (1 point)

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.
