Answer:

No protein will form

Step-by-step explanation:

The given single strand of DNA will be first undergo transcription process to form single stranded mRNA and the mRNA molecules then undergo translation process to form protein.

With four base pairs there are 64 combination of codons that code for 20 amino acids.

The complementary base pair for the given single stranded DNA are:

single stranded DNA: ATCGCTATGACTG

Complementary mRNA: UAGCGAUACGAC

So, the given strand will not form any protein because the first codon is UAG which is a stop codon and stop codon will stop the process of translation.

Hence, there will be no protein form from the given single strand of DNA.
