Leucine

d)

Methionine

4.

Proline

5.
What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUGCCAGUAUGA
a)
Met-Pro-Ala-Val
b)
Met-Pro-Val
c)
Tyr-Gly-His
d)
Tyr-Gly-Arg-His
6.

What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUG GCA AAC CGU

a)

Met-Ala-Asn-Ala

b)

Met-Ala (because the third codon codes for STOP)

c)

Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala

d)

Met-Ala-Asn-Arg

Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala

7.

What is the correct amino acid sequence if the DNA code of the gene is TAC CGT TTG GCA?

*You will have to figure out the mRNA codons before figuring out the amino acid sequence

a)

Met-Ala-Asn-Ala

b)

Met-Ala (because the third codon codes for STOP)

c)

Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala

d)

Met-Ala-Asn-Arg

e)

Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala
