It looks like you've uploaded a page from a biology worksheet titled
"Protein Synthesis Practice 3", which includes the
Universal Genetic Code Chart and two questions related to interpreting mRNA codons and amino acid sequences.
However,
you mentioned that there is an image with a task, but I don't see any additional pages or diagrams (like the "next page" referenced in the instructions) containing the actual data for
species A and
species B. The provided image only shows:
- The Universal Genetic Code Chart.
- Two incomplete questions:
1. Fill in missing amino acids for
species A.
2. Fill in missing mRNA bases for
species B.
But without the
amino acid sequence or mRNA strand for species A and B (which should be on the next page), I can’t complete the task.

🔍 What You Need to Provide:
To help you solve this problem, please provide either:
- The
amino acid sequence for species A (so I can determine the corresponding mRNA codons).
- Or the
mRNA strand for species B (so I can fill in missing bases based on the genetic code).
Alternatively, if you have a second page of the worksheet, please upload it or describe the information given for species A and B.

✔ Example of How This Works:
Let’s say for
species A, the amino acid sequence is:
> MET – LEU – THR – SER – STOP
Using the
Genetic Code Chart, we can find the corresponding mRNA codons:
-
MET → AUG (start codon)
-
LEU → CUU, CUC, CUA, or CUG
-
THR → ACU, ACC, ACA, or ACG
-
SER → UCU, UCC, UCA, or UCG
-
STOP → UAA, UAG, or UGA
So the mRNA would be something like:
AUG-CUU-ACU-UCU-UAA
And vice versa — if you're given mRNA and need amino acids, just look up each codon in the chart.

📌 Summary:
Please provide the
missing data (either the amino acid sequence for species A or the mRNA strand for species B), and I’ll walk you through solving both problems step by step using the
Universal Genetic Code Chart.
Once I have that, I can:
- Translate mRNA → amino acids (for species A)
- Transcribe amino acids → mRNA codons (for species B)
Just reply with the missing information!
