I'm not sure I understand. Are you meant to fill in the table?
Yes
Sorry, I don't really know much about DNA. I wish I could help more!
So you're not sure about anything? Maybe give it a try?
Well, I know that the bases listed are for RNA, since DNA used Thymine (T) instead of... whatever U stands for. I'm not sure about much else though.
Ugh lol I dont know how to do this
Hm, well another thing I recall is that when converting DNA to RNA, A turns into T, C turns into G, and G turns into U...
I'm not sure how you get from mRNA to tRNA, but if you can do that, then the corresponding amino acids are listed out for you.
So what would be the DNA sequence which is the first box?
The first box, UUU? The DNA sequence for that would be GGG
Wait, no, I got it wrong. AAA
So what would mRNA sequence be?
UUU is the mRNA sequence, I think.
To correct what I said earlier, A gets converted to U, T gets converted to A, and C and G are converted to one another.
What would the tRNA sequence be?
Ok, so if I'm not mistaken, mRNA to tRNA is similar to the conversion from DNA to mRNA in that each base has a complimentary one. In this case, A pairs with U and C pairs with G.
Ok so last question What would be the amino acid sequence?
I think you can refer to the chart for that. Based on the tRNA sequence, you should be able to find the corresponding amino acid.
Okay thank you.
You're very welcome!
