Question

question 2 of 25 a strand of mrna has the bases adenine - cytosine - uracil. which amino acid corresponds to these bases? messenger rna codons second base in codon first base in codon third base in codon a. ser b. asn c. lys

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the codon

The mRNA codon is adenine - cytosine - uracil (ACU).

Step2: Locate the codon in the table

• First base (A): Look at the row labeled "A" (first base in codon).
• Second base (C): Within that row, look at the column labeled "C" (second base in codon).
• Third base (U): In the intersection of the row (first base A) and column (second base C), find the box where the third base is U. The corresponding amino acid is Asn (Asparagine).

Answer:

B. Asn
