Question

A piece of mRNA has the code AUG GAA UCU AGG UAG. Look at the table. Which amino acids are coded in this

Answer 1

Hey!

The amino acids coded in the piece of mRNA are Methionine, Glutamic Acid, Serine, and Arginine. (I think I spelled those correctly)

I do hope that helps!

I actually had the same question b4 on a test but hadn't been taught how to figure it out yet...so if u would like me to explain how I got those, just let me know and I would be happy to!

Have a great day! U got this! :)

Answer 2

Answer: Methionine, Glutamic acid, Serine and Arginine.

Explanation:

Genetic code can be defined as set of rules which is used by the living to translate the information which is encoded within the genetic material into proteins.

Translation is accomplished by the ribosomes which links the amino acids in an order which is being specified by the messenger RNA by the help of the transfer RNA molecule.

The transfer RNA molecule carries the amino acid and read the mRNA three nucleotide at a time.

The triplet code codes for the amino acids which is specific. AUG -Methionine GAA- Glutamic acid UCU- Serine AGG- Arginine UAG- stop codon.
