Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When using your codon chart, what sequence can you use to find the correct amino acid?
A
DNA
B
mRNA
C
tRNA
D
Any of these will do
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To use an amino acid codon wheel, start from the center and follow the RNA codons until you have the 3 nucleotide bases. Next, translate the three bases into an amino acid from the mRNA codons. The process is called RNA translation. Once established, follow the RNA sequence to find the amino acid that it translates to.

Detailed explanation-2: -The codon on mRNA are CAU-CCU-AAA-CUG.

Detailed explanation-3: -A section of mRNA has the following codon sequence: five prime AUGGUGCAUCUG three prime.
