Question

Using the mRNA sequence you just created and the Codon Wheel above, what amino acid sequence will be created during Translation?

Answer 1

The right answer is Tyrosine and aspartic acid.

First, let's assume that the meaning of the RNA is 5 'UACGAU 3'. Meaning is important to see in which direction to read the sequence.

The ribosome will read mRNA from 5 'to 3', i will read two UAC and GAU codons.

To find out which amino acid corresponds to these two codons, read the circle from the center to the peripheria and see which amino acid you got.

Answer 2

histidine, valine is your amino acid sequence

you look at the center letters (the biggest ones) and find U, then find A from the U section then find C from the A section and repeat for the other 3 letters.

one codon is 3 letters long

one codon codes for one amino acid
