methionine, glutamine, and alanine

arginine, histidine, and cysteine

arginine, histidine, and cysteine

methionine, valine, and glycine

methionine, valine, and glycine

methionine, valine, and aspartic acid

methionine, valine, and aspartic acid

Answer 1

To determine which amino acids correspond to the given mRNA codons in the sequence AUGGUCGGU, we need to divide the sequence into codons (groups of three nucleotides) and then look up each codon in the genetic code.

1. **AUG** - Methionine (Met)
2. **GGC** - Glycine (Gly)
3. **UGU** - Cysteine (Cys)

So, the amino acids translated from the sequence AUGGUCGGU are Methionine, Glycine, and Cysteine.

Based on the options provided and the correct mapping, it appears none of the options you listed perfectly match this translation. The correct translation from the sequence is:
- Methionine, Glycine, and Cysteine.

If there's a typo or mistake in the options, please clarify, and I can assist you further!
