Chapter 7, Problem 1CT

a.

Summary Introduction

To answer:

a. The amino acid sequences using the mRNA bases AUGGGGAUACGCUACCCC.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are the organic substance that contains nitrogen and hydrogen that are seen in the proteins. They are the building blocks of proteins. Translation is a process where the mRNA molecule is translated into polypeptides that are composed of specific amino acid sequences. There are some proteins which are found as single polypeptides, but most of the proteins are composed of many polypeptides that are bound together in the form of quaternary structures. Hence the sequential order of amino acids forms the polypeptides.
