Question

using the codon wheel above, transcribe and translate the following dna code. tac, agg, gga, cct
uag, agg, gga, ccu
stop, arg, gly, pro
aug, ucc, ccu, gga
val, pro, ser, arg
uag, agg, gga, ccu
asp, gly, arg, ser
aug, ucc, ccu, gga
met, ser, pro, gly

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

DNA has bases T, A, G, C. In transcription to mRNA, T is replaced by U, A by U, G by C and C by G. Given DNA code TAC, AGG, GGA, CCT. Transcribed mRNA is AUG, UCC, CCU, GGA.

Step2: Translate mRNA to amino - acids

Use the codon wheel. AUG codes for Met (Methionine), UCC codes for Ser (Serine), CCU codes for Pro (Proline), GGA codes for Gly (Glycine).

Answer:

AUG, UCC, CCU, GGA; MET, SER, PRO, GLY
