Which amino acid is missing in the CFTR protein in people with cystic fibrosis?
phenylalanine
What programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide?
The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of its parent DNA. RNA is transcribed directly from DNA.
What is the amino acid acid sequence for auguuucggacguaa?

How did scientist find that human genes that make insulin?
Scientists used the amino acid code to find the DNA base sequence,i.e. they worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence- APEXthey figured out the dna sequence from the amino acid sequence
What is the sequence of DNA that specifies the amino acid sequence known as?
The sequence of DNA that specifies the amino acid sequence is called the coding part of the DNA or simply, a gene. The gene is split into triplets of nucleotides called codons, each of which specifies an amino acid.
Which amino acid is missing in the CFTR protein in people with cystic fibrosis?
phenylalanine
Is cystic fibrosis a mutation?
yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The most common mutation, which results in a loss of the amino acid phenylalanine
What are some facts about cystic fibrosis?
More than 1,000 different mutations in the CFTR gene have been identified in cystic fibrosis patients. The most common mutation (observed in 70% of cystic fibrosis patients) is a three-base deletion in the DNA sequence, causing an absence of a single amino acid in the protein product. About 2,500 babies are born with cystic fibrosis in the U.S. each year. More than 10 million Americans carry the cystic fibrosis gene but don't know it.
How would the amino acid sequence produced by the mutant strand compare to the amino acid sequence produced by series 1?
one amino acid in the sequence would change
How does amino acid sequence compare?
An amino acid sequence can be compared by using an electron microscope. The sequence of one acid can be viewed and then directly compared to another.
What are codon and anticodons?
Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
What programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide?
The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of its parent DNA. RNA is transcribed directly from DNA.
