mRNA | ___ ____ ____
Amino Acid| ____ ____ ____

Word bank: Met, His, AGU, Ala, GGG, Ser, Leu, GUU, AGA, UTG, UUU, CCC, GCG, Gly, GGU, Arg, AUG

Answer 1

To complete the process, we first need to transcribe the given DNA sequence into mRNA.

The DNA sequence provided is:

• TAC CGC CCC

We transcribe this to mRNA by replacing each DNA base with its complementary RNA base:

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

So, we can transcribe the DNA sequence as follows:

• T → A
• A → U
• C → G
• C → G
• G → C
• C → G
• C → G
• C → G

The corresponding mRNA sequence is:

• AUG | CGC | GGG

Now, we'll decode the mRNA into amino acids using the codon chart. The mRNA codons are:

1. AUG
2. CGC
3. GGG

Using the codon chart:

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

Putting this all together, we get:

| mRNA | AUG | CGC | GGG | |---------|-------|-------|-------| | Amino Acid| Met | Arg | Gly |

Final answer: Complete mRNA sequence: AUG CGC GGG Amino Acids: Met Arg Gly
