The following is the template strand of the DNA. Give the mRNA sequence as well as the polypeptide chain showing each resulting amino acid:  3' TACGGTCTACGGTAGGTTCCGATT5' Be sure to include the 5' and 3' label on your mRNA (4 marks)

Hi!

Your teacher needs to mark directionality of the DNA strand.

So let's fix the question.

3'-TACGGTCTACGGTAGGTTCCGATT-5' (template strand DNA)

5'-AUGCCAGAUGCCAUCCAAGGCUAA-3' (mRNA)

Your next step is to look for the start codon 5'-AUG-3', then starting there, break your mRNA into codons, thus:

5'-AUG CCA GAU GCC AUC CAA GGC UAA-3' (mRNA)
