Biology: DNA codons and bases?
I will give 10 points to a correct answer if you can answer this tonight, preferably within the hour... I was assigned a project to make a DNA structure and must take the bases "Methionine, tryptophan, glutamate, and tyrosine". Using these I would have to find the mRNA and so on. If you can help me get the mRNA with the 4 bases I just listed I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

The codons in mRNA for the proteins you listed are:
Methionine = AUG (universal start codon)
Tryptophan = UGG
I think you mean Glutamine = CAA or CAG - depends on what the coding DNA strand is
Tyrosine = UAU or UAC - again, depends on what the coding DNA strand is

those are undesirable questions. Your source is failing to teach you the directionality of DNA. word that nowhere on those pages are you seeing 5' or 3' labels. once you're procuring this path, you're actually not getting your money's truly worth.
