Question

RNA: CATTGGCTAACGTCGATAATCGTCGGTAC

9. Which amino acids would be found in the mutation protein?
Which amino acids would be found in the mutation protein

Answer 1

Amino acid sequence: Valine- Threonine- Aspartic acid- Cysteine- Serine- Cysteine- Stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is describing the process of translation, which is the second stage of protein synthesis. Translation is the process whereby a mRNA template is used to produce amino acids, which forms a sequence that will eventually become protein.

The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. According to this question, using the genetic code table, the given DNA sequence is as follows:

DNA: CAT- TGG- CTA- ACG- TCG- ATA- ATC- GTC- GGT- AC

RNA = GUA- ACC- GAU- UGC- AGC- UAU- UAG- CAG- CCA- UG

Amino acid sequence: Valine- Threonine- Aspartic acid- Cysteine- Serine- Cysteine- Stop.
