Question

use the chart on the screen to practice. if the dna is acg - what amino acid will be coded for? (hint: you must make mrna from the dna first)
cysteine
threonine
serine

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

DNA is ACG. In transcription, A pairs with U, C pairs with G, and G pairs with C. So the mRNA codon is UGC.

Step2: Use the genetic code chart

Looking at the genetic code chart (not shown here but a standard one), the codon UGC codes for the amino acid Cysteine.

Answer:

Cysteine
