What is the complementary sequence to 3’ ATG CGA ATA 5’?
(0/1 Points)
3’ TAT TCG CAT 5’
3’ TAC GCT TAT 5’
The correct answer is 3' TAT TCG CAT 5'. Remember complementary means “Matching
or Pairing” You have to remember to pay attention to your numbers as well as your
letters (A-T, G-C, 5'-3'). The correct answer is 3’ ATG CGA ATA 5’ (original sequence) 5’
TAC GCT TAT 3’ (complementary sequence) But we asked for it in the 3’ direction, so
mirror answer to give correct answer: 3’ TAT TCG CAT 5’ If you chose 3' TAC GCT TAT 5',
this is incorrect. Although the nucleotides are in the correct order, the 5' and 3' are in
the wrong place. DNA strands that are complementary run in opposite directions. This
means that if one strand starts with a 3', the the complementary strand must start with
a 5'. If none of the answer choices give the correct answer in 5' ---> 3', then you need to
write its mirror, which will run from 3' ---> 5'.

Which amino acid sequence would result from this Coding DNA
strand? 3’ ATG CAG ATA 5’?
(1/1 Points)
Tyr Val Tyr
Ile Gln Ile
Ile Asp Val
The correct answer is Ile Asp Val. We are starting at the coding strand, and have to
remember the relationship between coding DNA and mRNA. These two strands are non-
complementary and parallel. So we copy the coding strand , change T ---> U, and then

Silent
The correct answer is silent mutation. The nucleotide sequence changes, but it codes for
the same amino acid. The coding sequence 5' TAC 3' corresponds to the mRNA
sequence 5' UAC 3' (Tyr), and the coding sequence 5' TAT 3' corresponds to the mRNA
sequence 5' UAU 3' (Tyr). Since the C changed to at T, this is a point mutation. If the
point mutation results in the same amino acid in the new sequence as in the original
sequence, the point mutation is a silent mutation.
