Apply: suppose you wanted a protein that consists of the amino acid sequence methionine, asparagine, valine, and histidine. give an mrna sequence that would code for this protein.

A possible messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence capable of encoding this protein sequence would be AUGAAUGUUCAU.

During gene transcription, a gen nucleotide DNA sequence is used as a template to create a complementary mRNA nucleotide sequence, which is subsequently used to create a protein sequence by a process called translation.

During translation, triplets of nucleotides or codons in the mRNA sequence determine specific amino acids.

The genetic code is said to be 'redundant' because different codons can encode the same amino acid residue.

For example, Valine is an amino acid that can be encoded by four different codons (GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG).

In the example above:
