Answer:

Please find the mRNA and amino acid of the DNA sequence in the table below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is describing the processes of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template while translation is the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from a mRNA sequence.

The following nucleotides combination are given in this question. Their transcription into mRNA using the complementary base pairing rule is as follows;

DNA = mRNA

- ATG = UAC

- GTA = CAU

- CAA = GUU

- AAT = UUA

- GCG = CGC

- TGT = ACA

- ACT = UGA

- CCC = GGG

- TAG = AUC

Using the codon chart attached as an image, the translation of these mRNA codons is as follows:

mRNA = amino acid

- UAC = tyrosine (tyr)

- CAU = histidine (his)

- GUU = Valine (Val)

- UUA = Leucine (leu)

- CGC = Arginine (Arg)

- ACA = threonine (Thr)

- UGA = STOP codon

- GGG = Valine (Val)

- AUC = Isoleucine (Iso)
