What is the resulting amino sequence if the following mRNA molecule undergoes translation 5’ AUG AGU CCU CUU UGA 3’ ?

From the translation of the mRNA molecule 5’ AUG AGU CCU CUU UGA 3’ results the amino acid sequence Met-Ser-Pro-Stop, that is, Methionine-Serine-Proline and the last triplet being a stop codon.

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is in charge of conducting the encoded genetic information to produce the protein synthesis, organized in a sequence of nucleotides called the genetic code. The arrangement of the nucleotides is in triplets of bases or codons, which encode the synthesis of an amino acid (translation), determine the beginning of the synthesis and also establish the stop.

In the given sequence, 5’-AUG-AGU-CCU-CUU-UGA-3’ results the amino acid sequence Met-Ser-Pro-Stop:

5'-AUG Methionine (Met), being at the same time an initiating codon.AGU Serine (Ser).CCU Proline (Pro).UGA-3' is a stop codon.

Stop codons do not code for amino acids, but their presence in a codon sequence marks the completion of peptide or protein synthesis.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
