1. Complete the unfinished DNA strand from below. 2. What m-RNA strand would be formed from the DNA strand that you just made in #1 above?

3. Using the codon chart in the lesson, what amino acids would be aligned from the following m-RNA strand?

A U G G C G G A A

4. If the first base in the sequence above (#3) were mutated to a C, what would that do to the amino acid sequence?

5. If you were given a single tiny chunk of a nucleic acid strand and asked if it was DNA or RNA, what things would you look for to tell?
