What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUGCCA
A
Met-Leu
B
Met-Pro
C
Tyr-Gly
D
Tyr-Pro
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This sequence of mRNA codes for the amino acids methionine-lysine-leucine-arginine-arginine-methionine-methionine-methionine. This sequence of mRNA codes for the amino acids methionine-lysine-leucine-arginine-arginine-methionine-methionine-methionine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each three-letter sequence of mRNA nucleotides corresponds to a specific amino acid, or to a stop codon. UGA, UAA, and UAG are stop codons. AUG is the codon for methionine, and is also the start codon.

Detailed explanation-3: -a The genetic code contains four codons for proline: CCG, CCC, CCU, and CCA.
