Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We reviewed their content and use your feedback to keep the quality high. Answer: corresponding amino acid for given mRNA sequences are as follows: Given mRNA sequences: 5’-AUG-UCU-UCG-UUA-UCC-UUG-3’ Corresponding amino acid sequences: N’-Met-Ser-Ser– Leu– Ser– Leu-C’ Translation is a cel…

Detailed explanation-2: -At the start of the initiation phase of translation, the ribosome attaches to the mRNA strand and finds the beginning of the genetic message, called the start codon (Figure 4). This codon is almost always AUG, which corresponds to the amino acid methionine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, if the base sequence in codon of mRNA is 5’-AUG-3’, the complementary anticodon will be3’-UAC-5’ or 5’-CAU-3’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is aspartic acid. The translation is associated with mRNA and tRNA. The genetic code sequence of mRNA runs from 5’ to 3’. The anticodon loop of tRNA reads the genetic sequence.
