• 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. ( All questions taken from Week 2 assignment)

• 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.
  • 5'-cguaugcuaauaccauguuccgcguauaacccagccgccaguuccgcuggcggcauuuua-3' (this is the strand of mRNA copied from the DNA template)
  • 3'-gcauacgauuaugguacaaggcgcauauugggucggcggucaaggcgaccgccguaaaau-5' (this is the complementary strand to the mRNA)
