genetics DNA sequence please help!?
show and explain how the genetic information in the following DNA sequence will be used to create a polypeptide, and predict the amino acid sequence that it will contain. Here is the sequence:
T A T G A T G A C G G T A T T A C C C G A A G G C T A A G G A C = coding strand
A T A C T A C T G C C A T A A T G G G C T T C C G A T T C C T G = template strand
i dont get this at all. iam provided with a table that shows mRNA codons.

Take the template strand, convert to mRNA. When it's in mRNA it's been translated, you now can code for peptides. Each 3 nucleotide is a mRNA codon, which will be a specific amino acid ex: leucine.
a t a c t a c t g- your template strand ( partial, didn't want to write out the whole thing)
Your template strand turns into: U A U G A U G A C.
Now take every there letters and use your table to figure out which amino acid sequence it is: so far it would be: UAU= Tyr GAU=Asp GAC=Asp
I hope that make sense.
