El Centro College Genetic Code and DNA Sequence Transcription Exercises

1. Transcribe the following DNA sequence: Hint: By convention, a nucleic acid sequence is always written 5’ to 3’ unless otherwise notated. Hb A: AGT AAC GGC AGA CTT CTC CTC AGG AGT CAG GTG CAC CAT

2. Translate your new RNA sequence using the genetic code. Remember that when determining your amino acid sequence, the RNA sequence is read from 5’ to 3’.

3. Transcribe the following DNA sequence. Hb S: AGT AAC GGC AGA CTT CTC CAC AGG AGT CAG GTG CAC CAT

4. Translate your Hb S transcript.
