Question

Use your knowledge of Protein Synthesis and the provided chart, to identify the correct Amino Acid sequence from the DNA strand: TACCGTGGAACTA. Isoleucine, Aspartic Acid, Histidine, TryptophanB. Methionine, Alanine, Proline, STOPC. Tyrosine, Arginine, Glycine, ThreonineD. STOP, Arginine, Proline, Valine

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Tyrosine, Arginine, Glycine, Threonine. The genetic code is interpreted by triplets. Noteworthy, when the gene is passed to RNA, all T's must be substitued by U's. So the first triplet in RNA would be UAC, which corresponds to Tyrosine.
