'suppose the DNA sequence gctatatcg was changed to gcgatatcg how would the products of transcription and translation be affected?

Transcription is the process in which DNA is converted to RNA by transcription factors.
Translation is the process in which RNA is converted to proteins.
The easiest way to remember this is by thinking of DNA as American-English and RNA as british-English. Anyone who knows either one of the languages can easily convert one of them to the other. Toilet becomes the loo. Sidewalk becomes the pavement, etc.
This is because DNA has A-T (adenosine-thymin) and C-G (cytosine-guanine) while RNA has A-U (adenosine-uracil) and C-G (cytosine-guanine) bonds. The language is almost the same. From RNA to proteins however, the entire code, structure and function is altered beyond recognition. This is why you call it translation. The conversion of one language to a completely different one - like british to Chinese for example.
So, the product of transcription is RNA and the product of translation is proteins.

∙ 11y agoThe change of GCT to GCG would produce the mRNA sequence CGCUAUAGC, rather than CGAUAUAGC. There would be no change in translation, because both CGC and CGA code for the same amino acid, arginine. Refer to the related link for a table of mRNA codons.

would produce mRNA in which the third base is C

If someone was missing an amiono acid how would transcription and translation be affected?
whenever an amino acid is missing it means there is deletion mutation. deletion mutations have deleterious effects on the transcription and translation as the reading frame is disturbed causing a change in gene.
How would RNA polymerase be affected if the repressor protein were not bound to the proper site on a gene?
it will prevent the transcription of rNA polymerase
What happens to a cell if it lack the enzyme DNA polymerase?
Transcription would be affected because the binding of the enzyme RNA plymerase to the promoter of the gene is the first step of transcription.
How could an error during transcription affect the protein produced?
The sequences of bases will be affected and can produce a protein that is a nonsense protein and will not work at all, another that will work somewhat or a protein that will work just fine which is called a silent mutation. It all depends on where the error is. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/aminoacids/dna6.html
If the parents are not affected and the child is affected what is the inheritance pattern?
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE - Neither parent is affected, few of the children are affected. -AA or Aa=normal -Aa=Carrier -aa=Affected
Why is it acceptable that translation and transcription errors are not corrected?
Only a single protein will be affected by an error.
How is DNA replication affected by a lack of mRNA?
Not at all. mRNA is not involved in DNA replication as it is involved in transcription and translation.

Why are so many varied phenotypes within a species such as human?
The phenotypes are affected by your enzymes since all metabolic activities of our bodies are down to enzymes.. Your Enzymes are proteins. They have been made from translation after transcription. Thus Your DNA got transcribed to make the enzymes.

How would the transcription of eukaryotic gene be affected if a replication error changed the nucleotide sequence of the termination signal for that gene?
Extra long proteins are likely to fold improperly and not function correctly. The overall health of the individual would be destroyed.
How was writing affected during the modern time period?
At the onset of computers and internet, Arabic script was difficult to be written on browsers. Netscape version 7 is the first that enabled Arabic speakers to enter Arabic text over the internet. Internet Explorer version 6 was the first. So Arabic speakers devised a way to communicate over the internet in Arabic. A new transcription emerged for writing Arabic in Latin letters. This transcription made it possible to write Arabic sounds using letters found on the keyboard (rather than the old transcriptions that used symbols not found on a regular keyboard). Slowly but surely this transcription became so common that almost all Arabic speakers now know this transcription along with the Arabic letters. Now that it is possible to enter Arabic script on the internet, this transcription might be replaced by Arabic script. A site that teaches Arabic online and the Arabic script is: http://www.arabacademy.com

What would happen if one of the letters in the code was changed by a mutation?
The transcription of the gene (in other words, the end product -- a protein) would be affected. It could possibly change the entire appearance of the end-product (e.g. could make an eyelash curly instead of straight, or make a skin cell dark instead of light).
