Question

Translate this sequence from mRNA to protein: AUG CAC UCG

Answer 1

Answer:

The result of the translation of the mRNA sequence AUG CAC UCG into protein is methionine, histidine and serine.

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is responsible for carrying the sequence of nitrogenous bases of its molecule to the ribosome to be translated into amino acids and synthesize proteins.

Three nucleotides of mRNA form triplets or codons that can encode:

• The initiation of protein synthesis, with the AUG codon also coding for methionine.
• Amino acids to be added to the peptide chain.
• Stopping protein synthesis.

For the mRNA base sequence AUG CAC UCG, the amino acid sequence that corresponds to the synthesized peptide or protein is Met-His-Ser, i.e. methionine, histidine and serine.
