Suppose you have the following DNA sequence (template strand): TACTTT. What would be the amino acid sequence that would be ultimately produced from this DNA sequence? Use the list of codons and their corresponding amino acids provided below (you will not need to use every amino acid listed here). (Hint: first determine the mRNA sequence that would result) AAA - lysine CUA - leucine CUU - leucine AUG - methionine AUU - isoleucine AUC - isoleucine UUU - phenylalanine UUA - leucine UUG - leucine GUG - valine GUA - valine GCU - alanine

Use the codon wheel above to determine the sequence of amino acids coded for by this section of DNA: TAT G C A ATA CCG • type the mRNA sequence that would match this set of codons • now provide the amino acids that would be matched to the mRNA codons, in the correct order
