1. Transcribe the DNA sequence to mRNA by replacing each DNA base with its complementary RNA base (A→U, T→A, C→G, G→C):
- DNA: T C C G C G C A G A G C T A G
- mRNA: A G G C G C G U C U C G A U C
2. Translate the mRNA sequence into tRNA anticodons by using the complementary base pairing (A→U, U→A, C→G, G→C):
- mRNA: A G G C G C G U C U C G A U C
- tRNA: U C C G C G C A G A G C U A G
3. Use the genetic code to determine the amino acids corresponding to each mRNA codon:
- mRNA codons: AGG, CGC, GUC, UCG, AUC
- Amino acids: Arg (Arginine), Arg (Arginine), Val (Valine), Ser (Serine), Ile (Isoleucine)
4. Answer the questions:
- mRNA is made during transcription.
- mRNA is made in the nucleus.
