Question

write the amino acid using its three - letter abbreviation. write stop for a stop codon. dna sequence tcc mrna codon amino acid

Explanation:

Step1: Find mRNA codon

DNA has bases A, T, C, G. mRNA has bases A, U, C, G. In transcription, A pairs with U, T pairs with A, C pairs with G.
For DNA sequence TCC:

  • T pairs with A, C pairs with G, C pairs with G.

So mRNA codon is AGG.

Step2: Find amino acid

Using the genetic code table, the codon AGG codes for the amino acid Arg (arginine).

Answer:

mRNA codon: AGG
amino acid: Arg
