Answer:

The three amino acid will be Tyrosine, Asparagine and Lysine respectively to sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

UTC GTU TTG

First the thymine in the sequence is changed to A, adenine because in the mRNA only three types of nucleotides are allowed which are Adenine, thymine and Uracil.

So the sequence will be:

UAC GAU AAG

These codons will be read by tRNA producing the polypeptide sequence of amino acids which are as follow:

Tyrosine Asparagine Lysine.
