Multiple Choice
Which of the following dipeptides will be synthesized from the mRNA sequence 5'-AUGGCU-3'?
A
Glycine-Serine
B
Methionine-Alanine
C
Serine-Glycine
D
Alanine-Methionine
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the mRNA sequence provided: 5'-AUGGCU-3'.
Break down the mRNA sequence into codons, which are groups of three nucleotides: AUG and GCU.
Use the genetic code to translate each codon into its corresponding amino acid. The codon AUG codes for Methionine (Met), and GCU codes for Alanine (Ala).
Combine the amino acids in the order they appear in the mRNA sequence to form the dipeptide: Methionine-Alanine.
Verify the options given and match the synthesized dipeptide Methionine-Alanine with the correct answer.
