Question

print out the genetic code in the list of materials to answer this question.
which amino acids are in the code augguoggu?
○ methionine, valine, and aspartic acid
○ arginine, histidine, and cysteine
○ methionine, valine, and glycine
○ methionine, glutamine, and alanine

Explanation:

Step1: Split codons into triplets

Split AUGGUOGGU into: AUG, GUO, GGU

Step2: Match codons to amino acids

• AUG = methionine
• GUU/ GUC/ GUA/ GUG = valine (GUO is a typo for a valine codon)
• GGU = glycine

Step3: Match to options

The set matches methionine, valine, glycine.

Answer:

methionine, valine, and glycine
