Tyr - Stop - Ser - Ile

Answer 1

To determine the sequence of amino acids from the given mRNA strand (AUG - AUC - UCG - UAA), we need to translate each codon using a codon chart.

1. AUG: Methionine (Met)
2. AUC: Isoleucine (Ile)
3. UCG: Serine (Ser)
4. UAA: Stop codon

Therefore, the sequence of amino acids is:

Met - Ile - Ser - Stop

So the correct response is: Met - Ile - Ser - Stop.
