Amino Acid| ____ ____ ____


Word bank: Met, His, AGU, Ala, GGG, Ser, Leu, GUU, AGA, UTG, UUU, CCC, GCG, Gly, GGU, Arg, AUG

Answer 1

To complete the process, we first need to transcribe the given DNA sequence into mRNA.

The DNA sequence provided is:
- TAC CGC CCC

We transcribe this to mRNA by replacing each DNA base with its complementary RNA base:
- Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U) in RNA
- Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A)
- Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G)
- Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)

So, we can transcribe the DNA sequence as follows:
- T → A
- A → U
- C → G
- C → G
- G → C
- C → G
- C → G
- C → G

The corresponding mRNA sequence is:
- AUG | CGC | GGG

Now, we'll decode the mRNA into amino acids using the codon chart. The mRNA codons are:
1. AUG
2. CGC
3. GGG

Using the codon chart:
- AUG codes for Met (Methionine)
- CGC codes for Arg (Arginine)
- GGG codes for Gly (Glycine)

Putting this all together, we get:

| mRNA | AUG | CGC | GGG |
|---------|-------|-------|-------|
| Amino Acid| Met | Arg | Gly |

Final answer:
Complete mRNA sequence: **AUG CGC GGG**
Amino Acids: **Met Arg Gly**
