Question

use the codon chart to answer the questions.
the dna sequence caa would create an mrna codon that would code for which amino acid?
arginine
glutamine
proline
valine

Explanation:

Step1: DNA to mRNA conversion

DNA sequence CAA. In mRNA, A pairs with U and C pairs with G. So the mRNA codon is GUU.

Step2: Using the codon chart

Start from the center (G), then move to the second - layer (U), then the third - layer (U). The amino acid is valine.

Answer:

valine
