Essay

The following is the sequence of bases in the sense strand of a DNA segment and contains the beginning of a gene.
DNA 3ʹ A T A T T A C C A G G C A T G G A C C C C C G G G 5ʹ
Based on this sequence, write the sequence of the anti-sense DNA strand and the mRNA. Label the 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends in your predicted sequences. The start codon in this organism is AUG. Indicate where the start codon is in your sequence. Why is the start codon important? Why does there have to be a specific start codon?
