Question

The following is a segment of the DNA template that codes for human insulin:

TGC GGCTCA CAC CTG GTG

a. Write the corresponding mRNA segment.

b. Write the three-letter and one-letter abbreviations for the corresponding peptide segment.

Short answer

The human insulin DNA template is as follows.

Part A) The mRNA is ACG CCG AGU GUG GAC CAC.

part b )The peptide sequence that corresponds to the codon on mRNA.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction ( part a)

Nucleic acids are organic macromolecules that are present all over the cell. They were first discovered in the nuclei of cells. The nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are found in all known forms of life. Translation is the production of proteins from RNA. The information on the RNA is transformed to protein in this process. Protein is the end result of translation.

Explanation  ( part a) 

Adenine (A) partners with thymine (T) and guanine (G) couples with cytosine (C) in DNA (C). Thymine is replaced with uracil (U) in RNA, which interacts with adenine (A).

Given information ( part a)

TGC GGC TCA CAC CTG GTG DNA template.

step 4:Explanation (part a)

The DNA template is TGC GGC TCA CAC CTG GTG, while the mRNA is ACG CCG AGU GUG GAC CAC.

Given informatin (part b)

Peptide - Thr Pro Ser Val Asp His (b) mRNA - ACG CCG AGU GUG GAC CAC.

Explantion (part b)

The-Pro-Ser-Val-Asp -His TP SVDH is the peptide sequence that corresponds to the codon on mRNA.
