<h2>Protein sequence</h2>

Explanation:

5’-ATGTTGAAAATGCCGTAGAGGC-3’

Protein is made up of mRNA and mRNA has the same sequence as coding strand(only T is replaced by U) so the sequence of mRNA will be:

5’-AUGUUGAAAAUGCCGUAGAGGC-3’

According to the genetic code,3 bases code for one nucleotide and further nucleotide codes for amino acid,amino acids forms the base for protein

Once the stop codon comes protein synthesis will be stopped,so the final protein sequence will be:

Met-Leu-Lys-Met-Pro-Stop
