Final answer:
The DNA sequence TACACCGGTCAC translates to the mRNA sequence AUGUGGCCAGUG, which encodes for Methionine-Tryptophan-Proline-Valine. However, the correct amino acid sequence does not match any of the provided answer choices, suggesting an error in the question or answer options.
Step-by-step explanation:
The DNA sequence you've provided, TACACCGGTCAC, needs to be translated into its corresponding mRNA sequence before determining the amino acids. In mRNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine, and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). So, the mRNA sequence would be AUGUGGCCAGUG. Now, we can use this mRNA sequence to determine the amino acids encoded by reading the codons--sets of three nucleotides.
Here are the individual codons and their corresponding amino acids based on the genetic code:
- AUG codes for Methionine
- UGG codes for Tryptophan
- CCA codes for Proline
- GUG codes for Valine
Combining these, the sequence codes for the amino acids Methionine-Tryptophan-Proline-Valine. However, none of the answer choices provided match this sequence. Therefore, it seems there may have been a mistake in the question or the answer choices provided. For accuracy, refer to a codon table to determine the amino acids that correspond to each triplet sequence.
