Jkuroda Week 2

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:

Original DNA strand:
5’-cgtatgctaataccatgttccgcgtataacccagccgccagttccgctggcggcatttta-3’

Complementary DNA strand:
3’-gcatacgattatggtacaaggcgcatattgggtcggcggtcaaggcgaccgccgtaaaat-5’

mRNA strand:
5'-cguaugcuaauaccauguuccgcguauaacccagccgccaguuccgcuggcggcauuuua-3'

Complementary mRNA strand:
3'-gcauacgauuaugguacaaggcgcauauugggucggcggucaaggcgaccgccguaaaau-5'

Six reading frames:

+1 and -2 do not contain stop codons, so they are open reading frames
