What amino acid sequence will be generated based on the following mRNA codon sequence?

5'-AUG-UCU-UCG-UUA-UCC-UUG-3'

Met-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu-Ser
Met-Ser-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu
Met-Arg-Glu-Arg-Glu-Arg
Met-Glu-Arg-Arg-Glu-Leu

1 answer

To determine the amino acid sequence generated from the given mRNA codon sequence (5'-AUG-UCU-UCG-UUA-UCC-UUG-3'), we need to translate each codon into its corresponding amino acid:

  1. AUG - Methionine (Met)
  2. UCU - Serine (Ser)
  3. UCG - Serine (Ser)
  4. UUA - Leucine (Leu)
  5. UCC - Serine (Ser)
  6. UUG - Leucine (Leu)

Putting it all together, the amino acid sequence is:

Met-Ser-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu

The correct answer from the options provided is:

Met-Ser-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu
