What will these DNA codons be translated...

What will these DNA codons be translated into TAC, AAA, ATC?
(b) What are the DNA codons that would have transcribed these RNA codons AUGUUUUAG?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) AUG signals the synthesis of polypeptide (start signal) and codes for the amino acid methionine. UUU codes for phenylalanine. UAG do not specify any amino acid and hence is called nonsense codon. It signals the termination of polypeptide chain (stop signal)
(b) TACAAAATC.
