11. What polypeptide sequence will be translated from the following RNA sequence: AUGAAGUCAGGG?
a. Met-Lys-Leu-Gly
b. Met-Thr-Ser-Gly
c. Met-Lys-Ser-Gly
d. Met-Thr-Leu-Gly
e. Met-Lys-STOP
c. Met-Lys-Ser-Gly
To determine the polypeptide sequence translated from the given RNA sequence AUGAAGUCAGGG, we need to refer to the genetic code.
Using the genetic code, we can translate each codon (a group of three nucleotides) into its corresponding amino acid.
The RNA sequence AUG codes for the start codon, which specifies the initiation of translation and the amino acid methionine (Met).
The next codon, AAG, codes for the amino acid lysine (Lys).
The third codon, UCA, codes for the amino acid serine (Ser).
Lastly, the codon GGG codes for the amino acid glycine (Gly).
Therefore, the polypeptide sequence translated from the given RNA sequence AUGAAGUCAGGG is: Met-Lys-Ser-Gly.
Therefore, option c. Met-Lys-Ser-Gly is the correct answer.
