Final answer:
The RNA sequence CUUAAUUAAGAAGAC translates to the amino acid sequence Leucine-Asparagine-Leucine-Arginine-Arginine-Aspartic acid (Leu-Asn-Leu-Arg-Arg-Asp) when each set of three nucleotides, known as codons, is translated into its corresponding amino acid using a codon chart.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence of amino acids produced from the stretch of RNA with the sequence CUUAAUUAAGAAGAC can be determined by translating each codon (a set of three nucleotides) into its corresponding amino acid using a codon chart. The RNA sequence must be read from the 5' end to the 3' end, and translation begins typically at a start codon, which is AUG in most cases, corresponding to the amino acid methionine. However, since the provided sequence does not contain a start codon, we will translate the entire sequence as it is:
- CUU - Leucine (Leu)
- AAU - Asparagine (Asn)
- UUA - Leucine (Leu)
- AGA - Arginine (Arg)
- AGA - Arginine (Arg)
- GAC - Aspartic acid (Asp)
Therefore, the amino acid sequence is Leucine-Asparagine-Leucine-Arginine-Arginine-Aspartic acid (Leu-Asn-Leu-Arg-Arg-Asp). Note that the actual translation process in a cell would only commence at a start codon, and there can be regulatory sequences affecting where translation begins and ends.
