The following is a particular sequence of base triplet on a DNA molecule: ATG.What is the corresponding codon for the mRNA?
A)TAC
B)GUA
C)GTA
D)CTA
E)UAC

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corresponding codon on the mRNA would be UAC, since RNA nucleotides contain uracil (U) instead of thymine (T). The triplet ATG codes for the amino acid methionine on the mRNA. The options A, B, C, and D are all incorrect codons that do not correspond to the sequence ATG.
