Question

A segment of a DNA molecule contains the base sequence: TAC CCA GGT.

Using the mRNA codon chart, which amino acid sequence would be produced from this DNA base sequence?


alanine-asparagine-leucine
methionine-valine-proline
methionine-glycine-proline
tyrosine-proline-valine

Answer 1

The correct option is C) methionine-glycine-proline

Step-by-step explanation:

To look at the amino acids that will be made from this genetic sequence, lets first make the mRNA code:

DNA→ TAC CCA GGT

mRN → AUG GGU CCA

Amino acids→ methionine- glycine- proline

The genetic code can be described as the method which an organism's body used to translate genetic sequences into amino acids by using the code of triplets.
