Question

Which of the chains of amino acid corresponds to the nucleotide sequence AAUGGCUAC?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct chain of the amino acid is Asparagine ( AAU), Glycine ( GGC), and Tyrosine ( UAC).

mRNA (messenger RNA) contains a sequence of three nucleotides called codon that corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is added during the process of translation ( synthesis of proteins from mRNA).

AAU codes for Asparagine, GGC codes for Glycine, and UAC codes for Tyrosine

Amino acid is carried by the amino acid attachement site of the tRNA (transfer RNA) molecule along with an anticodon that is present in the anticodon loop of tRNA.The assembly of different amino acids give a specific chain of amino acid sequences called polypeptide or proteins.
