mRNA DNA that codes for the amino acid
sequence DNA that does not code for the amino
acid sequence
(Record your answer in the numerical-response section below.)
Your answer:

Answer 1

The nucleotide sequences can be matched with the type of nucleic acid they code for using the genetic code. The sequences correspond to mRNA, DNA that codes for the amino acid sequence, tRNA, and DNA that does not code for the amino acid sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleotide sequences can be matched with the type of nucleic acid they code for by using the genetic code. The genetic code is a set of three-letter codes (codons) that correspond to specific amino acids. By comparing the nucleotide sequences to the genetic code, we can determine the type of nucleic acid.

Sequence 1: AGT CCC ATA TTG - mRNA

Sequence 2: GGT GGG GTA AAC - DNA that codes for the amino acid sequence

Sequence 3: UCA GGG UAU AAC - tRNA

Sequence 4: AGU CCC AUA UUG - DNA that does not code for the amino acid sequence
