Question

What is the sequence of amino acids coded for by the following sequence of bases in a strand of DNA? A A T G C A T T C C G T

Answer 1

ASN, ALA, PHE, ARG are the amino acid sequences for DNA.

Answer 2

Answer:

AAT codes for asparagine, GCA codes for alanine, TTC codes for phenylalanine and CGT codes for arginine.

Explanation:

The sequence of DNA changes to the RNA by the process of transcription. Uracil is present instead of thymine in the RNA sequence. Further, RNA codes for the protein product by the process of translation.

Codon may be defined as the sequence of three nucleotide that together forms the hereditary unit of the organisms.One codon corresponds to the single amino acid.

Thus, AAT codes for asparagine, GCA codes for alanine, TTC codes for phenylalanine and CGT codes for arginine.
