Experiment 1: Transcription and Translation

1. Transcribe the following DNA sequence:

Hint: By convention, a nucleic acid sequence is always written 5' to 3' unless otherwise notated

Hb A: AGT AAC GGC AGA CTT CTC CTC AGG AGT CAG GTG CAC CAT

2. Translate a new RNA sequence using the genetic code Remember that when determining your amino acid sequence, the RNA sequence is read from 5' to 3'

3. Transcribe the following DNA sequence

Hb S: AGT AAC GGC AGA CTT CTC CAC AGG AGT CAG GTG CAC CAT

4. Translate your Hb S transcript
