transcribe and translate the following gene.
tac - ggc - atc - gaa - tca
met - pro - stop - leu - cys
aug - ccg - uag - cuu - agu
atg - ccg - tag - caa - agt
met - pro - stop

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

In transcription, DNA thymine (T) pairs with mRNA adenine (A), DNA adenine (A) pairs with mRNA uracil (U), DNA cytosine (C) pairs with mRNA guanine (G), and DNA guanine (G) pairs with mRNA cytosine (C).
DNA: $TAC-GGC-ATC-GAA-TCA$
mRNA: $AUG-CCG-UAG-CUU-AGU$

Step2: Translate mRNA to amino acids

Use the genetic code:

• $AUG$ = Methionine (MET, start codon)
• $CCG$ = Proline (PRO)
• $UAG$ = Stop codon (terminates translation)

Translation stops at the stop codon, so no further amino acids are added.

Answer:

D. MET-PRO-STOP
