Answer:

5'-AUGCGUAGCUUGGAGUGA-3'  

Explanation:

(a) Break the string into triplets.

5'-AUG-CGU-AGC-UUG-GAG-UGA-3'

The string contains six codons.

The initiation codon is AUG (Met)

That eliminates Options 1 and 4.

(b) Identify the stop codon

There are six codons, so the sixth is the stop codon, which must be UAA, UGA, or UAG .

That eliminates Option 2, which ends with UGG.

The correct answer must be Option 3.

(c) Check

Translate the codon string.

5'-AUG-CGU-AGC-UUG-GAG-UGA-3

    met   arg    ser    leu    glu    stop

That's the correct sequence.

Why is it so important for measurements in an experiment to be accurate AND precise?
Mashcka [7]
The reason they have to be so accurate and precise is because, let's say you were doing a lab or something that was involving chemicals. If you had to put a certain amount of chemicals in your experiment, but when you were doing to the math, you messed up and didn't go back and even bother to fix it, that is a really BIG issue. Because something will probably happen to your chemicals because you might have added to much of something into it. So that's why you always have to be so precise and accurate!
