What are the Amino acids of the mutated DNA sequence: TAC ATC TTG GCG ACG ACT

Sagot :

Answer:

Tyr Ile Leu Ala Thr Thr

Explanation:

In a DNA sequence, a pair of three bases form a codon that codes one particular amino acid in the protein. Proteins are consist of  20 amino acids and these amino acids are coded by a pair of three bases.  

There are four bases in a DNA - Thymine (T), Adenine(A), Guanine(G) and Cytosine(C).

The given mutated DNA sequence will also code for some amino acid, that is as follows:

TAC - Tyr (Tyrosine)

ATC - Ile (Isoleucine)

TTG -  Leu (Leucine)

GCG - Ala (Alanine)

ACG - Thr (Threonine)

ACT - Thr (Threonine)

Thus, The mutated DNA sequence  TAC ATC TTG GCG ACG ACT codes for Tyr Ile Leu Ala Thr Thr.
