Question

  1. what amino acid would be created from the mrna sequence aaa acg?○ lys-ala-thr○ phe-arg-cys○ met-ala-stop○ phe-asp-thr

Explanation:

Step1: Split mRNA into codons

Split AAA ACG into codons: $\text{AAA}$, $\text{ACG}$

Step2: Match AAA to amino acid

From the codon table, $\text{AAA}$ codes for lysine (lys).

Step3: Match ACG to amino acid

From the codon table, $\text{ACG}$ codes for threonine (thr).
Note: There appears to be a typo in the question's mRNA sequence (likely missing a 3-base codon for alanine, but the only option matching the two valid codons is the first choice).

Answer:

lys-ala-thr
