Final answer:
The DNA code TAC ATG CCA GAT ATC transcribes to mRNA as AUG UAC GGU CUA UAG, and translates into an amino acid sequence of Methionine (Met), Tyrosine (Tyr), Glycine (Gly), and Leucine (Leu), terminating at the stop codon UAG.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the amino acid sequence for the given DNA code TAC ATG CCA GAT ATC, we need to first transcribe this DNA sequence into mRNA sequence, and then use a codon chart to translate the mRNA codons into amino acids.
Transcription (DNA to mRNA): TAC ATG CCA GAT ATC → AUG UAC GGU CUA UAG
From the mRNA sequence, we can now use the codon chart to determine the amino acids:
- AUG codes for Methionine (Met)
- UAC codes for Tyrosine (Tyr)
- GGU codes for Glycine (Gly)
- CUA codes for Leucine (Leu)
- UAG is a stop codon and does not code for an amino acid.
Therefore, the amino acid sequence for the given DNA code is Met-Tyr-Gly-Leu, with the translation stopping at the UAG codon.
