Answer:
Nucleotide sequence: ATG-GGG-CTC-AGC-GAC
Translation: Methionine-Glycine-Leucine-Serine-Aspartic acid (abbreviation: MGLSD)
Step-by-step explanation:
The genetic code refers to the universal rules by which cells decodes information encoded within genetic material, either DNA or the resulting messenger RNA (mRNA), into proteins. In the genetic code, each triplet of nucleotide bases or 'codon' in the DNA/RNA sequence determines a specific amino acid in the protein. The AUG codon in mRNA is a start codon that specifies Methionine (M) amino acid, while UAG, UAA, and UGA are stop codons that determine the end of the protein.
