Final answer:
The amino acid sequence encoded in the partial DNA segment is Serine - Threonine - Methionine. The answer is option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the question is option C, which is Serine - Threonine - Methionine.
To determine the encoded amino acid sequence, we need to analyze the given DNA segment and match it with the corresponding codons using the genetic code. The DNA segment given in the question does not directly represent the amino acids, but we can use the genetic code to decode it. Each set of three nucleotides, known as a codon, codes for a specific amino acid.
By referring to the given DNA segment and decoding the codons, we can see that Serine is coded by the codon TCT, Threonine is coded by ACC, and Methionine is encoded by ATG. Therefore, the correct amino acid sequence encoded in the partial DNA segment is Serine - Threonine - Methionine.
