Question

What amino acid sequence will be generated based on the mRNA codon sequence 5' - ACUAUGCAUGCUUAA - 3'?A. Met - His - Ala - TyrB. Met - His - AlaC. Thr - Met - HisD. Thr - Met - Ala - Lys - TyrE. Thr - Met - His - Ala

Answer 1

In order to now which amino acid sequence will be generated, we first need to observe a table of codons. In this case, the codons are as follows:

ACU - Threonine (Thr)

AUG - Methionine (Met)

CAU - Histidine (His)

GCU - Alanine (Ala)

UAA - Stop codon

Therefore, the correct answer is E. Thr - Met - His - Ala
