Question

The following is a sequence of tRNA. AUGCAUUGA Which amino acid sequence is transcribed.

A.) Ile - Phe - Cys
B.) Cys- Phe - Ile
C.) His - Met - Stop
D.) Met - His - Stop

Answer 1

Option D) Met - His - Stop

Step-by-step explanation

The table provided describes the genetic code, and from it you will observe that:

- AUG, a triplet code specify the amino acid named Methionine (Met);

- CAU, specify for Histidine (His);

- UGA, specify for "stop" which is a special function that causes termination of the amino acid sequence been synthesized.

Thus, the tRNA will yield Met - His - Stop
