What amino acid sequence does the following mRNA nucleotide sequence specify? 5'−AUGAACCUAUGC−3' Express the sequence of amino acids using the three-letter abbreviations, separated by hyphens (e.g., Met-Ser-Thr-Lys-Gly).
Added by Haley W.
Step 1
The mRNA sequence is 5′−AUGAACCUAUGC−3′, so the codons are: AUG - AAC - CUA - UGC Now, we can use the genetic code to determine the corresponding amino acids for each codon: AUG = Met (Methionine) Show more…

During translation, nucleotide base triplets (codons) in mRNA are read in sequence in the 5' → 3' direction along the mRNA. Amino acids are specified by the string of codons. What amino acid sequence does the following mRNA nucleotide sequence specify? 5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′ Express the sequence of amino acids using the three-letter abbreviations, separated by hyphens A) Met B) Ser C) Thr D) Lys E) Gly.

Write the amino acid sequence that would result from the RNA sequence: (shown 5' to 3') AUG GCA CGA UCA GCU. Refer to the codon table. Note: Enter the amino acids using their three-letter designations. Put a hyphen between each amino acid. Example: Met-Ala-Leu-Cys-Ala.
