Carlos needs help with biology because he is having trouble understanding the process of protein synthesis, and his answer to a question needs to be fixed. In the question, he is given
a DNA strand that has the nucleotide sequence GAC CAT GTC. He says that he wrote the mRNA as CTG GTA CAG, but then he's not sure how to use the codon table above to figure
out the amino acids.
Part 1: Identify the correct nucleotide sequence and explain why it is different from Carlos's answer.
Part 2: Using the codon table above with the correct nucleotide sequence, teach Carlos how to use the codon chart. (Make sure you include each stepi),
