Problem 13: mRNA polypeptide code
Correct!
Which mRNA codes for the following polypeptide?met arg ser leu glu
A. 3'-AUGCGUAGCUUGGAGUGA-5' B. 3'-AGUGAGGUUCGAUGCGUA-5' The sequence must be 5'-AUG for met, CGU for arg, AGC for ser, UUG for leu, and GAG for glu followed by a stop codon UGA. One sequence starts correctly but includes a stop codon in the third triplet (UAG).C. 5'-AUGCGUAGCUUGGAGUGG-3' D. 1'-AUGCGUAGCUUGGAGUGA-3' E. 3'-AUGCGUAGCUUGGAGUGA-1'
