If the DNA sequence is TAC TTG ACC, what would be the resulting amino acid sequence after transcription and translation?
(Hint: Think of the first step of protein synthesis? Do this first and then find the amino acid sequence.)
a
Met-Asn-Trp
b
Isol-Lys-STOP
c
Tyr-Leu-Thre
d
Gly-Ala-Val
The DNA sequence TAC TTG ACC codes for the mRNA sequence AUG AAC UGG, which, after transcription, would be translated into the amino acid sequence Met-Asn-Trp.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) Met-Asn-Trp
