To transcribe the DNA sequence "AATGTAAG" into amino acids, we first need to convert it into mRNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). The corresponding mRNA sequence is "AAUGUAAG".
Next, we divide the mRNA sequence into codons (groups of three nucleotides):
1. AAU
2. GUA
3. AG (note: this last codon is incomplete, but we'll consider only complete codons)
Now we can convert these codons into the corresponding amino acids using the genetic code:
- **AAU** - Asparagine (Asn, N)
- **GUA** - Valine (Val, V)
The incomplete codon "AG" does not correspond to an amino acid as it is incomplete (codons must be three nucleotides long).
Thus, the resulting amino acids from the sequence "AATGTAAG" are **Asparagine (N)** and **Valine (V)**.
