Write out the complementary strand of DNA below the strand shown and be sure to label the 5’ and 3’ ends of the complementary strand.

There are six possible reading frames in double-stranded DNA. Using the genetic code, translate all possible reading frames of this DNA sequence, keeping in mind the following rules.
- In RNA, the T becomes a U, so everywhere you see a T in the sequence, read it as a U.
- The genetic code is read in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
- Use the single-letter abbreviations for the amino acids because that is what is commonly used by computer programs.

Note: For the full list of codons, see this RNA Codon Table. The stop codon is indicated by "x".
