If the following strand of DNA was replicated and transcribed, what would be the amino acid sequence in the resulting polypeptide?

5' ______________________ 3'
G T G A C C G C G A C A



A. Ser-Arg-Pro-Phe
B. Leu-Ser-His-Arg

C. His-Trp-Arg-Cys
D. Arg-Tyr-Phe-Pro

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option  C, His-Trp-Arg-Cys

The amino acid codon sequence is  

G T G A C C G C G A C A

During transcription, complementary DNA codon sequences are produced. Thus the complementary amino acids for given sequences are –  

G – C

T – A

A – T  

C – G  

The transcripted RNA has the following sequence  

CAC  TGG  CGC  TGT

G T G          A C C   G C G          A C A

Name of the Tran scripted Codon Sequences

CAC – Histidine

TGG - Tryptophan  

GCG – Arginine

TGT - Cysteine

His – Tryp – Arg - Cys
