Use the "Genetic Code Chart" to determine the sequence of amino acids in your polypeptide chain. Remember to START translation at the start codon by adding a Methionine and STOP translating when you reach a stop codon.
Below is the sequence of an mRNA that has just been transcribed. Please translate this sequence as if you were a ribosome, and write out the translation results.
A genetic code table has been provided.
