To translate the given mRNA sequence, we follow these steps:
1. Identify the mRNA Sequence:
- The provided mRNA sequence is: AUG GGG AAU GCG UAG
2. mRNA Codon to Amino Acid Translation:
- We use a standard codon table to translate each mRNA codon into its corresponding amino acid. Each codon (a sequence of three nucleotides) translates into one specific amino acid or a stop signal.
- Using the codon table:
- AUG translates to Methionine (Met) - This is also a start codon.
- GGG translates to Glycine (Gly).
- AAU translates to Asparagine (Asn).
- GCG translates to Alanine (Ala).
- UAG is a stop codon, which signals the termination of the translation process.
3. Step-by-Step Translation:
- AUG corresponds to Met (Methionine).
- GGG corresponds to Gly (Glycine).
- AAU corresponds to Asn (Asparagine).
- GCG corresponds to Ala (Alanine).
- UAG signals the stop of the translation process.
4. Final Amino Acid Sequence:
- The complete translated sequence of the mRNA is: Methionine (Met), Glycine (Gly), Asparagine (Asn), Alanine (Ala), Stop.
So, the translated amino acid sequence for the given mRNA sequence "AUG GGG AAU GCG UAG" is:
```
['Met', 'Gly', 'Asn', 'Ala', 'Stop']
```
This sequence indicates the protein translation starts with Methionine, followed by Glycine, Asparagine, and Alanine, and ends at the stop signal.
