A small section of mRNA codons has the following sequence:UGG GAA ACC UUC Some Amino Acids Aspartate Glutamate Glutamine Isoleucine Threonine Methionine Asparagine Tryptophan Phenylalanine The amino acids listed above that are coded by the mRNA codons are Answer, Answer, Answer, and Answer.Record your answer in order from left to right codons.
Polypeptides can be reversed back to RNA because of the enzyme transcriptase. The genetic material must be replicated with high fidelity and great speed. Eukaryotic mRNA is said to be polycistronic since they encode multiple polypeptide chains RNA-synthesis occurs inside the nucleus while protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic organisms. Write T if the statement is true and write F if the statement is false
The sequence below represents a strand of mRNA. Draw a box around the start codon. Then use the codon table provided, translate the mRNA and write the amino acids that are coded for. Remember that the start codon also codes for an amino acid. Stop at the stop codon. There is a stop codon. If you don't find a stop codon, you've missed something important. UAUG CAUG GUUA AUC
