RNA Translation

Th following is a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. Determine the correct amino acids that the mRNA codes for. Use you amino acid chart. You may want to write down each codon on paper. Remember to read 3 at a time.

A U G C G A A A G C U U A G U U G A

• Met, Leu, His, Phe, Arg, Stop

• Met, Arg, Lys, Leu, Ser, Stop

• Ala, Ile, Val, Lys, Tyr, Stop

• Ser, His, Gln, Pro, Thy, Met
