Question

HELP ASAPIf the following mRNA strand were produced during transcription, what amino
acids would be found in the
protein?
CAUGGUGGCUACGGG
The table below shows which amino acid results from each codon.

• A. Histidine-glycine-glycine-glycine
• B. Glycine-histidine-histidine-tyrosine-histidine
• C. Glycine-histidine-glycine-glycine
• D. Histidine-glycine-glycine-tyrosine-glycine

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

To translate mRNA to protien you start at the beginning of the strand and read the first 3 letters then identify which amino acid it is by looking at the chart. You repeat this process until you have reached the end or until there are no more pairs of 3 letters.

So we have the strand CAUGGUGGCUACGGG

the first the letters are CAU

if we look at the chart CAU corresponds to Histlidine

Repeating this process with the rest of the mRNA strand we should get

Histidline - Glycine - Glycine - Tyrosine - Glycine

the answer is D.
