You can predict amino acid sequence basing on the RNA transcript sequence. However, you cannot predict RNA transcript sequence basing on the peptide sequence. This is because of; Codon degeneracy Codon mismatch Codon-Anticodon mismatch Codon bias

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

A sequence of nucleotides in a DNA strand- $5^{\prime}$ -TTAACGGCTTITITC-3'was used as a template to synthesize an mRNA that was then translated into protein. Predict the C-terminal amino acid and the N-terminal amino acid of the resulting polypeptide. Assume that the mRNA is translated without the need for a start codon.
