  • Translation: How to determine an amino acid from mRNA.

    Answer: You try it DNA: GTA DNA sequence = CAU mRNA sequence You try it mRNA: CAU mRNA codon = GUA tRNA anticodon You try it amino acid: For a anticodon of GUA, Valine is the amino acid coded for.

  • Genetics-From genes to protein, mutations.

    Explanation: A change in amino acid sequence would affect protein function because each protein has a unique amino acid sequence that encode a specific function. Whenever there is a mutation in the amino acid that change the protein sequence.
