Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the mRNA codon sequence provided: AUG-GCU-UAA.
Use a codon chart to translate each mRNA codon into its corresponding amino acid. Start with the first codon, AUG.
AUG is the start codon and codes for the amino acid Methionine.
Next, translate the second codon, GCU. According to the codon chart, GCU codes for the amino acid Alanine.
Finally, translate the third codon, UAA. UAA is a stop codon, which signals the termination of protein synthesis.
