The following segment of DNA codes for a protein (Uppercase letters represent exons, lower case letters represent introns):

5’GCTAAATGGCAaaattgccggatgacGCACATTGACTCGGaatcgaGGTCAGATGC3’

 

My question is this: What is missing from this sequence that we would need for the gene to make it's product if we were looking at an intact gene?:embarass:

this be homework, methinks :P

 

think about the process of turning DNA --> protiens, and it should be obvious what bits of DNA are needed for that process to happen, but isn't there ;)

is that TATAA box? cause the ATG six bases in looks like it can work as a 'start' codon right?

back to topic: what are the sequences upstream that would perpetrate the gene product?
