Answer 1

To determine the amino acid sequence from the given mRNA codons (CUC, AAA, CGU), we can use the standard genetic code.

1. CUC codes for Leu (Leucine).
2. AAA codes for Lys (Lysine).
3. CGU codes for Arg (Arginine).

Putting it all together, the amino acid sequence corresponding to the mRNA codons CUC, AAA, CGU is:

Leu-Lys-Arg (or L - K - R)

So the final answer is:

• Leu
• Lys
• Arg
