Answer 1

To complete your question regarding the formation of the mRNA sequence from the given DNA sequence and identifying the corresponding amino acids, let's break it down:

1. DNA Sequence: TAC CGC CCC

2. mRNA Sequence: The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA template strand and uses uracil (U) instead of thymine (T). The pairing will be:

   • T -> A
   • A -> U
   • C -> G
   • G -> C

   Therefore, the mRNA sequence formed from the DNA sequence TAC CGC CCC would be:

   • mRNA: AUG CGC GGG

3. Amino Acids: Now, we will use the mRNA sequence to determine the corresponding amino acids using a codon chart. The mRNA codons are divided into:

   • AUG -> Methionine (Met) (Start codon)
   • CGC -> Arginine (Arg)
   • GGG -> Glycine (Gly)

Putting it all together:

• mRNA: AUG CGC GGG
• Amino Acid: Met - Arg - Gly

Now, you can insert the responses into the specified response areas:

Responses:

• mRNA:

  • First Response Area: AUG
  • Second Response Area: CGC
  • Third Response Area: GGG

• Amino Acid:

  • First Response Area: Met
  • Second Response Area: Arg
  • Third Response Area: Gly
