Mutated gene
DNA sequence: TAC-ATA-ACG-CCC-AGC-G
mRNA:
Codons:
Amino acid sequence:

mRNA: AUG-UAU-UGC-GGG-UCG-C

Codons: AUG, UAU, UGC, GGG, UCG

Amino acid sequence: Methionine- Tyrosine- Cysteine- Glycine- Tryptophan

Explanation:

This question is trying to illustrate the process of gene expression, which includes transcription (DNA - mRNA) and translation (mRNA - protein). According to this question, a mutated DNA sequence was given as follows: TAC-ATA-ACG-CCC-AGC-G

After transcription, which employs the complementary base pairing rule i.e A-U, G-C, the following mRNA sequence will be produced:

mRNA: AUG-UAU-UGC-GGG-UCG-C

After translation, which uses mRNA codons (a group of three nucleotide bases that encode a specific amino acids), the following amino acid sequence will be produced:

Amino acid sequence: Methionine (Met)- Tyrosine (Tyr)- Cysteine (Cys)- Glycine (Gly)- Tryptophan (Try).

Note that:

AUG encodes methionine

UAU encodes tyrosine

UGC encodes Cysteine

GGG encodes Glycine

UCG encodes tryptophan

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
