A partial DNA segment and an mRNA codon chart are shown.

3', T, C, A, T, G, C, A ,T, G, 5'. mRNA Codon Chart.

What amino acid sequence is encoded in the partial DNA segment?

Treat the given DNA as the template (3'→5'). Complementary mRNA (5'→3') is:

DNA (3'→5'): T C A T G C A T G
mRNA (5'→3'): A G U A C G U A C

Codons (5'→3'): AGU | ACG | UAC → Serine (Ser, S) | Threonine (Thr, T) | Tyrosine (Tyr, Y).

So the amino acid sequence is Ser–Thr–Tyr (S‑T‑Y).
