Answer 1

To complete the mRNA sequence and identify the amino acids, we first need to convert the given DNA sequence (TAC CGC CCC) into mRNA.

The DNA bases and their complementary mRNA bases are as follows:

• A (Adenine) pairs with U (Uracil in RNA)
• T (Thymine) pairs with A (Adenine in RNA)
• C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine in RNA)
• G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine in RNA)

Given the DNA sequence:
TAC CGC CCC

The corresponding mRNA sequence is formed by replacing each DNA base with its complementary RNA base:

• T (A)
• A (U)
• C (G)
• C (G)
• G (C)
• C (G)
• C (G)
• C (G)

So, the mRNA sequence is: AUG CGC GGG

Next, to determine the amino acids from the mRNA sequence using a codon chart:

• AUG codes for Methionine (Met)
• CGC codes for Arginine (Arg)
• GGG codes for Glycine (Gly)

Now we can fill in the responses:

mRNA sequence:
AUG CGC GGG

Amino Acids:
Met Arg Gly

You can now insert these responses accordingly wherever needed.
