Answer:
Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon
Step-by-step explanation:
The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.
Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA
The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:
CAC - Histidine
CCA - Proline
UGG - Tryptophan
UGA - Stop codon
Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.
N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.
