Question

In an experiment to decipher the genetic code, a poly-ac mrna (acacacac...) is synthesized. what pattern of amino acids would appear if this sequence were to be translated by a mechanism that reads the genetic code as:

Answer 1

A series of threonine-Histidine-Threonine-Histidine...... and so on
 
aca is a codon of threonine
cac is a codon of Histidine

A codon is a three-letter nucleotide sequence in the mRNA. The tRNA anticodon attached to the corresponding amino acid recognizes the mRNA codon. A single amino acid can have more than one codon. 

Answer 2

Pattern of Amino Acids

In an experiment to decipher the genetic code, a poly-ac mRNA which is acacaca that is synthesized then two different polypeptides would be produced, each one composed of a single type of amino acid if this sequence were to be translated by a mechanism that is readed by the genetic code.
