What would be the first amino acid produced by the dna strand: agccagttc (hint: use the mrna strand you already coded)?

The first amino acid from the transcript of the above DNA strand is Serine. therefore the mRNA strand is made up of the following bases; UCGGUCAAG
and the order of amino acids after translation of the mRNA with reference to the genetic code table is; Ser-Val-Lys

The answer is Serine

agccagttc

The above DNA strand would produce the following mRNA strand;

ucggucaag.

Therefore, the first amino acid produced by translation of the mRNA would be coded by the first codon: UGC

This codon translates to serine amino acid.
