Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Amino acid sequence responsible for the 5 AAA CCC UUU UGU 3 mRNA code should be derived.
Concept Introduction:

(b)
Interpretation:
Amino acid sequence responsible for the 5 CCU UUG GAA GUA CUU 3 mRNA code should be derived.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic code − DNA and RNA transform genetic information of the living cells through triplet code, which is a sequence of three nucleotides on DNA or RNA molecules codes for a specific amino acid in protein synthesis.
(c)
Interpretation:
Amino acid sequence responsible for the 5 GGG UGU AUG CAC CGA UUG 3 mRNA code should be derived.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic code − DNA and RNA transform genetic information of the living cells through triplet code, which is a sequence of three nucleotides on DNA or RNA molecules codes for a specific amino acid in protein synthesis.
