Answer:

UAC-GAG-UUA-GCA-UAC-ACC-GAU-AAG-AUU

Tyrosine, Glutamic Acid, Leucine, Alanine, Tyrosine, Threonine, Aspartic Acid, Lysine, Isoleucine.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's understand what translation and transcription is. :)

Transcription (in simple terms) Taking 3 codons (or sequence) of DNA and turning it into an RNA codon.

Translation - Turning the RNA codon into an amino acid :)

ok now, let me explain a little bit more,

Apples Under Trees

Cars in Garages

That probably makes no sense.

A(Adenine) goes with T(Thymine)

C(Cytosine) goes with G(Guanine)

BUT

The U(Uracil) in RNA transcription replaces the T.

In RNA it goes

A(Adenine) goes with U(Uracil)

C(Cytosine) goes with G(Guanine)

T(Thymine) is still A(Adenine)

THERE IS NO T IN RNA CODONS

Ex: ATG would be UAC.

Now! we will use this fun thing called a codon chart that I will send a picture of for the translation part.

Let us use UAC for this

First, the big bold 4 letters is what we will start with. Find U.

Now go down one with the slightly less bold letters. Find A

Then go to the last bold letters find C.

We landed on Isoleucine yay! :D

hope that helped
