5 Khorana devised a method of generating artificial mRNA molecules that could be translated to test the makeup of the genetic code If the dinucleotide sequence A C n where n is the number of repeats is translated what will be the amino acid sequence of the resulting polypeptide you can use amino acid abbreviations on the back of the scantron sheet UUU Phenylalanine UUC Phe UUA UUG CUU CUC CUA CUG AUU Leucine Leu Leucine Leu UCU UCC UCA UCG CCU CCC CCA CCG ACU C Second base Serine Ser Proline Pro A UAU Tyrosine Tyr UAC UAA Stop codon UAG Stop codon CAU Histidine His CAC CAA Glutamine Gin CAG A AU Asparagine G UGU Cysteine Cys UGC UGA Stop codon UGG Tryptophan Trp G CGU CGC Arginine Arg MCAGUCAG CGA CGG AGU Serine Ser 9 Third base
