To convert the given DNA sequence to its corresponding mRNA sequence, we first need to remember the base pairing rules. In transcription, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) as in DNA. Similarly, cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
Given the sequence: CUC AAA CGU, we can directly identify the mRNA sequence, as it's already presented in the format that represents the mRNA codons.
Each mRNA codon corresponds to an amino acid:
- CUC codes for Leucine (Leu)
- AAA codes for Lysine (Lys)
- CGU codes for Arginine (Arg)
Thus, the complete amino acid sequence that corresponds to the mRNA strand CUC AAA CGU is:
Leu - Lys - Arg
