Question

use the circular rna codon chart to translate the following mrna strand into a polypeptide:
aug gcu uac uga
what is the correct sequence of amino acids and the stop signal?
select the correct answer.
methionine (met) - glycine (gly) - tyrosine (tyr) - stop
methionine (met) - alanine (ala) - glycine (gly) - stop
methionine (met) - tyrosine (tyr) - alanine (ala) - stop
methionine (met) - alanine (ala) - tyrosine (tyr) - stop

Explanation:

Step1: Translate AUG

AUG codes for Methionine (Met).

Step2: Translate GCU

GCU codes for Alanine (Ala).

Step3: Translate UAC

UAC codes for Tyrosine (Tyr).

Step4: Translate UGA

UGA is a stop codon.

Answer:

Methionine (Met) - Alanine (Ala) - Tyrosine (Tyr) - Stop
