To find the mRNA sequence that will be formed from the given DNA sequence, you need to perform a process called transcription. Transcription is the process by which DNA is used as a template to generate an mRNA molecule.
Here are the steps to complete the mRNA sequence:
1. Start with the given DNA sequence: GUU
2. Replace each occurrence of T in the DNA sequence with U (since U is the RNA equivalent to T): GUU becomes GUU
3. The completed mRNA sequence is: GUA
Now, let's identify the amino acid using the codon chart.
Looking at the codon chart, locate the mRNA codon GUA. Find the first base (G) in the left column, the second base (U) in the top row, and the third base (A) in the intersecting cell. The corresponding amino acid for the codon GUA is Valine (Val).
Therefore, the completed mRNA sequence GUU corresponds to the amino acid Valine (Val).
