The genetic code is the precise sequence of DNA nucleotides interpreted as three-letter words or codons that dictates the amino acid sequence during protein production. In other words, the genetic code is the set of principles that living cells use to transfer information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) into proteins (amino acid sequences). There are two forms of genetic coding. RNA codons or DNA codons can be used to express the genetic code.Methionine has specified the codon AUG. AUG codon is also called or known as the start codon. Methionine has specified the codon AUG. AUG codon is also called or known as the start codon. Serine is specified the codon UCU, UCG , UCC, and Leucine are specified the codon UUA, UUG. Hence met-Ser-Ser-Leu-Ser-Leu is the correct option. option 1 is an incorrect answer because Arginine is specified in the codon AGA, AGG, CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, Glutamic acid specified in the codon GAA, GAG, and in the mRNA codon sequence there is no such codon which is for the amino acid known as Arginine and Glutamic. option 3 is an incorrect answer because Glutamic acid is specified in the codon GAA, GAG, and in the mRNA codon sequence there is no such codon which is for the amino acid known as Arginine and Glutamic. option 4 is an incorrect answer because the UCG codon which is in the third position is for the serine not for the leucine. Leucine is specified in the codon UUA, UUG. Serine is specified in the codon UCU, UCG , UCC, not the UUA.
