Question

name:2023-24 unit 3 - lc1 assessmentmice can have fur in different colors. the color of the fur is controlled by a protein which has a specific shape. changes in an organisms dna can change the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which changes the shape of the protein. the sequence of amino acids determines the shape of the protein, which determines the color of the mouse.sequence 1: phe arg asp gly val ile thrsequence 2: phe arg ala gly val cys stop1. if a mouse makes a protein that is this shape, what color is it?2. if a mouse makes a protein with the amino acid sequence phe-arg-asp-gly-val-ile-thr, what color is it?3. if a mouse makes a protein with the amino acid sequence phe-arg-ala-gly-val-cys-stop, what shape is the protein that it produces?4. the sequence of dna below came from a mouse of unknown color. determine the amino acid sequence and color the mouse below the appropriate color.dna 1: a a g g c g c g g c c g c a a t a a t g arna 1:amino acids:what shape is the protein that this mouse will make?5. the sequence of dna below came from a mouse of unknown color. determine the amino acid sequence and color the mouse below the appropriate color.dna 2: a a g g c g c t a c c g c a a t a a t g arna 2:amino acids:what shape is the protein that this mouse will make?

Explanation:

First, we need to use the given codon table (from the top of the image) to solve each step:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to RNA

For each DNA sequence, replace T with U to get mRNA (RNA strand).

Step2: Split RNA into codons

Group RNA into 3-nucleotide codons, stop at stop codons (TAA/TAG/TGA → UAA/UAG/UGA).

Step3: Match codons to amino acids

Use the provided codon table to translate each codon to an amino acid.

Step4: Map protein to shape/color

Use the top legend: TRIANGLE = 5 amino acids, WHITE = 6 amino acids; match the final protein length/sequence to shape/color.

Question 1

Step1: Identify shape rule

Triangle = 5 amino acids

Step2: Match given protein length

The protein has 5 amino acids.

Answer:

Triangle

Question 2

Step1: Count amino acids

Sequence has 6 amino acids (STOP does not count as amino acid)

Step2: Match to color rule

6 amino acids = White
