Question

Given the DNA strand: TAC GGG CTA CAC ACT

Transcribe the corresponding mRNA strand: _______________________________



Translate into the corresponding amino acids: _______________________________

Answer 1

mRNA strand: AUG CCC GAU GUG UGA

amino acids: methionine-proline-aspartic acid-valine-stop

Step-by-step explanation:

mRNA rules:

- A pairs with U

- G pairs with C

- T pairs with A

next, use a codon chart to figure out the amino acids

UGA is a stop codon and therefore does not translate into an amino acid.
