Question

15 if the dna sequence tcc - cga, is copied into a mrna nucleotide sequence and then translated into protein. what will each 3 letter combination of letters code for? a lipids b sugars c nitrogen d amino acids

Explanation:

In the process of protein synthesis, the mRNA sequence is translated. A triplet of nucleotides (codon) in mRNA codes for an amino acid. Lipids are not coded by mRNA codons. Sugars are not the product of mRNA - codon translation in this context. Nitrogen is an element and not directly coded by mRNA codons in the way described. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are coded by mRNA codons (each 3 - letter combination in mRNA, which is derived from the DNA sequence, codes for an amino acid).

Answer:

D. amino acids
