Which of the following would be the correct sequence of amino acids in the protein that this portion of the gene encodes? (Note that there are no entrance in this gene sequence, and this portion is found in the middle of the coding sequence, past the start codon, so you should transcribe and translate the entire portion of this sequence) template DNA : 3' - ACG GGT TCC TTT AAC GCG TAG -5' A) Thr-Gly-Ser-Phe-Asn-Ala B) Cys-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg-Ile C) there is not enough information given to determine the amino acid sequence of this portion of the gene .arrow_forward
