Answer:
Please find the mRNA and amino acid of the DNA sequence in the table below.
Explanation:
This question is describing the processes of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template while translation is the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from a mRNA sequence.
The following nucleotides combination are given in this question. Their transcription into mRNA using the complementary base pairing rule is as follows;
DNA = mRNA
- ATG = UAC
- GTA = CAU
- CAA = GUU
- AAT = UUA
- GCG = CGC
- TGT = ACA
- ACT = UGA
- CCC = GGG
- TAG = AUC
Using the codon chart attached as an image, the translation of these mRNA codons is as follows:
mRNA = amino acid
- UAC = tyrosine (tyr)
- CAU = histidine (his)
- GUU = Valine (Val)
- UUA = Leucine (leu)
- CGC = Arginine (Arg)
- ACA = threonine (Thr)
- UGA = STOP codon
- GGG = Valine (Val)
- AUC = Isoleucine (Iso)
