To determine the sequence of amino acids that corresponds with the RNA strand UCG GGG CAC, we should first translate the RNA codons into their respective amino acids.

  1. UCG - This codon codes for Serine (Ser).
  2. GGG - This codon codes for Glycine (Gly).
  3. CAC - This codon codes for Histidine (His).

So, the amino acid sequence for the RNA strand UCG GGG CAC is:

  • Serine (Ser)
  • Glycine (Gly)
  • Histidine (His)

Looking at the provided options:

A. arginine serine glycine
B. phenylalanine asparagine
C. serine glycine histidine
D. arginine tyrosine glutamic acid

The correct answer is C: serine glycine histidine.
