15. Using your answer from question 14, what will be the required complementary tRNA anticodons for the mRNA codons? (Read the mRNA from the top to the bottom and then provide the sequence for the tRNA in the same order.)
16. What molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome to synthesize proteins?
17. Identify and define two methods used in gene therapy. Give general definitions of the two types, not examples of how they are used.
18. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) makes copies of what?
19. Define transgenic organisms.
20. Identify four uses for transgenic organisms. The next group of questions are based on the following information: DNA template molecule is: 5 prime (5') end: A-G-C-T-A-T-C-T-A-C-G-A: 3 prime (3') end
21. What will be produced by DNA replication? (Start from the 5 prime end and list each complementary DNA base in order all the way to the 3 prime end.)
22. What is the mRNA that will be produced. (Again start from the 5 prime end and list each complementary RNA base in order all the way to the 3 prime end.) template)
