Question

I need a clear answer about whether or not my current answer is correct or incorrect AND if it is incorrect, I need to know what the correct answer is.

If the following anti-sense segment of DNA encodes a protein, what would be the resulting amino acid sequence? 3'-GCCATACTAGTATCCCTAGATTGC-5 Table of mRNA codons Second Base STOP ewinertin threonine aparagine thrconise lysine throonise lysine START aspartateplycine glycine alaninelutaae cine glycine Your Answer: Methionine-isoleucine-isoleuicine-glycine-isoleucine

Explanation / Answer

Tne mRNA transcript formed after the process of transcription is -

5'- CGGUAUGAUCAUAGGGAUCUAACG -3'

Starting from the start codon AUG the mRNA transcript can be arranged as follows:

5'- CGGU AUG AUC AUA GGG AUC UAA CG -3'

So the resulting amino acid sequence is -

Methionine - isoleucine - isoleucine - glycine - isoleucine (UAA is the stop codon)

So your answer is correct.
