complete the mRNA sequence that will be formed with the DNA sequence below, then identify the amino acids.

Question

TAC CGC CCC
mRNA: ___ ___ ___
amino acid: ___ ___ ___
gly, His, UTG, AUG, AGA, UUU, CCC, GUU, GCG, GGG, AGU, Arg, Leu, Ala, GGU, Met, Ser

Answer 1

To complete the mRNA sequence based on the provided DNA sequence "TAC CGC CCC", we need to transcribe the DNA to mRNA.

The rules for transcription are:

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

Now, we will transcribe the given DNA sequence:

1. TAC → AUG
2. CGC → GCG
3. CCC → GGG

So the complete mRNA sequence is: AUG GCG GGG

Now we will identify the amino acids corresponding to the mRNA codons:

• AUG codes for Methionine (Met)
• GCG codes for Alanine (Ala)
• GGG codes for Glycine (Gly)

Putting it all together:

mRNA: AUG GCG GGG

Amino acid: Met Ala Gly

So the final answer is:

• mRNA: AUG GCG GGG
• Amino acid: Met Ala Gly
