Question
8. You have sequenced a segment of DNA from a species in the genus Lithobates (true
frogs). The sequence is below.
5' GCTTCAGGATGCTCCCATAAA 3'
If you make the assumption that this is a template strand for mRNA, and you want to
synthesize dsRNA to silence the gene,
A. What will the sequence of the sense strand be? Be sure to denote 5' and 3' ends of the
transcript.
B. What will the sequence of the antisense strand be? Be sure to denote 5' and 3' ends of
the transcript.
C. What will the fate of the dsRNA be, i.e. which molecular machine will first process it?
D. How does this molecular machine process the dsRNA?
