Solution Summary

The solution converts a piece of DNA sequence into a protein.

Solution Preview

First you must convert the DNA strand to an mRNA strand. Remember that thymine codes for uracil in mRNA.

If the DNA sequence is the bottom strand (template strand ) then the mRNA strand will be:

U A G A C A C G G G U U C U ...
