If the following strand of dna was replicated and transcribed, what would be the amino acid sequence in the resulting polypeptide?

5' 3'
g t g a c c g c g a c a

a. ser-arg-pro-phe
b. leu-ser-his-arg

c. his-trp-arg-cys
d. arg-tyr-phe-pro

The correct answer is option  C, His-Trp-Arg-Cys

The amino acid codon sequence is  

G T G A C C G C G A C A

During transcription, complementary DNA codon sequences are produced. Thus the complementary amino acids for given sequences are –  

G – C

T – A

A – T  

C – G  

The transcripted RNA has the following sequence  

CAC  TGG  CGC  TGT

G T G          A C C  G C G          A C A

Name of the Tran scripted Codon Sequences

CAC – Histidine

TGG- Tryptophan  

GCG – Arginine

TGT - Cysteine

His – Tryp – Arg - Cys
