Question

Use the Figure below to translate the following sequence of RNA bases into a chain of amino acids: AUGUACCCCACAGACUAA.

Then with the help of the figure below, make a drawing of your own for the given RNA sequence using the color coding: You can draw on paper and scan to submit that or you can use your own software program to do this.

Answer 2

The sequence AUGUACCCCACAGACUAA can be translated into the amino acid chain:

Methionine, Tyrosine, Proline, Threonine, Aspartic Acid, Stop codon.

• AUG - Methionine (Start codon)
• UAC - Tyrosine
• CCC - Proline
• ACA - Threonine
• GAC - Aspartic Acid
• UAA - Stop codon (Termination of translation)

In genetic code, each three-base sequence, known as a codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal. The codon AUG serves as the start codon, indicating the beginning of translation, and it codes for the amino acid methionine. The rest of the codons specify different amino acids. The end of the chain will have the stop codon, indicating the termination of translation.

The process of translation involves reading the RNA sequence in groups of three nucleotides (codons) and matching each codon to its corresponding amino acid.
