A linear plasmid contains two nonoverlapping genes that aretranscribed in opposite directions, each from the end toward thecenter of the plasmid. Draw diagrams that show:

a. The plasmid DNA, showing 5′ and 3′ ends of thenucleotide strands
b. The template strand for each gene
c. The positions of the transcription initiation sites
d. The transcripts showing 5′ and 3′ ends
e. The positions of the start and stop codons
f. . The encoded amino acid chains aligned withthe transcripts and showing carboxyl and amino ends.

2. Draw a 5' to 2' linkage showing the ribose backbone of theinvolved nucleotides.
