THE GENETIC CODE SECOND LETTER UGU UCC UAC UGC Ul (terminator) terminator A UGG

Question

THE GENETIC CODE SECOND LETTER UGU UCC UAC UGC Ul (terminator) terminator A UGG Tr CGU CGC CGA CGG UCG UAG Amber (terminator) Use the mRNA codon sequence and the genetic code table in order to find the amino acid (AA) sequence of the protein. J Example: if mRNA sequence is AGU then the corresponding. amino acid is Serine (Ser) CUU CCU ProCAC CAA Leu C CUA CCA CCG ACU ACC CUG CAG AUC lleu AUA AUG Met Lys Arg (initiator) ACG GCU GCC AGG GGU GGC GGA Asp G GUC Ala GAA Val Gly Glu GUG (initiator) GCG Created by Dr. Susan A.
