The mRNA sequence formed from the DNA sequence TAC CGC CCC CCA GAT CAA ATC is AUG GCG GGG GGU CUA GUU UAG.
Using the codon chart provided, the amino acids corresponding to each codon are as follows:
AUG - Methionine (Met)
GCG - Alanine (Ala)
GGG - Glycine (Gly)
GGU - Glycine (Gly)
CUA - Leucine (Leu)
GUU - Valine (Val)
UAG - Stop codon (termination of translation)
Therefore, the amino acids produced from the mRNA sequence are:
Met - Ala - Gly - Gly - Leu - Val - Stop
