Question

If the bottom strand of the DNA serves as the template, the amino acid sequence of the protein produced from the RNA would be:

a) Asn-Gly-Lys-Cys
b) Tyr-Val-Cys-Leu
c) Thr-Arg-Ala-Ser
d) Met-Ser-Leu-Cys

Answer 1

The amino acid sequence of the protein produced from the RNA would be Lys-Met-Cys-Arg-Asn-Ser-Arg-Ser.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amino acid sequence of the protein produced from the RNA will be determined by the sequence of codons in the RNA. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. To determine the amino acid sequence, we can use the genetic code chart.

The given mRNA sequence is CUAUGUGUCGUAACAGCCGAUGACCCG. Reading the codons from the 5' end, we have CUA, AUG, UGU, CGU, AAC, AGC, CGA, and UCCG. Using the genetic code chart, we find that these codons correspond to Lysine, Methionine, Cysteine, Arginine, Asparagine, Serine, Arginine, and Serine, respectively.

Therefore, the amino acid sequence of the protein produced from the RNA would be Lys-Met-Cys-Arg-Asn-Ser-Arg-Ser.
