Answer: GCU AAU GUC

Ala Asn Val

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a messenger RNA sequence, and the problem is asking for the complementary amino acids for each of the three letters in the sequence.

I used the chart on the right.

GCU

Take the first letter G and then move right on the chart to find C as the second letter. Look for the third letter last where they are listed on the right side.

GCU = Ala

You will follow the same process by finding the first letter, second letter and the third letter, and then see what the amino acid for that particular three-letter sequence.

GCU = Ala

AAU = Asn

GUC = Val

GCU AAU GUC

Ala Asn Val
