Answer 1

To determine the amino acid sequence from the given mRNA codons (CUC, AAA, CGU), we first need to understand that each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Below is the translation of the provided codons based on the standard genetic code:

1. CUC - This codon codes for the amino acid Leucine (Leu).
2. AAA - This codon codes for the amino acid Lysine (Lys).
3. CGU - This codon codes for the amino acid Arginine (Arg).

Putting this together, the amino acid sequence that corresponds to the mRNA codons CUC, AAA, CGU is:

Leu-Lys-Arg

So, in the designated response areas, you would enter:

1. Leu
2. Lys
3. Arg
