Question

translate this segment of dna into mrna: ggtagg
a ccaugg
b ccatcc
c ccaucc
using the codon chart provided, transcribe the mrna you got for your previous answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - pairing rules for DNA to mRNA

In transcription, G in DNA pairs with C in mRNA, and A in DNA pairs with U in mRNA, T in DNA pairs with A in mRNA.
For DNA sequence GGTAGG, the mRNA sequence is CCAUCC.

Step2: Use the codon chart

The mRNA sequence CCAUCC has two codons CCA and UCC.
From the codon chart, CCA codes for Proline (Pro) and UCC codes for Serine (Ser).

Answer:

C. CCAUCC; Pro - Ser
