Please help me answere these questions for my lab, the data is
included for each question right underneath, thank you.
7. Now try AU, AAU, and AUU. Did you notice something different
this time? What happened, and how would you explain this unusual
result? List any new codon assignments that you were able to make
from these experiments. Use tetranucleotides to figure out which
amino acids go with the codons that can be produced using only A
and U. What unusual result did you see with some of the
tetranucleotides and what is your explanation for this result?
This is the data for question 7


8. Now try GGG, GGA, GGC, and GGU. What amino acid showed up in
all four experiments? Are there any codons shared in common by
these four reactions? If not, then what must be true to explain
your results? Can you propose a codon or codons for the amino acid
that showed up in all four experiments? Do the codons that you’ve
just assigned to this amino acid have anything in common? What is
it? Use tetranucleotides to prove that your assignment is correct.
Comparing these results with the ones above, can you say whether
some positions in the codon are less important than others in
specifying which amino acid is coded for?
This is the data for question 8
