You are an extraterrestrial geneticist working at Area 51 to sequence the genome of a recently- captured alien specimen. Following sequencing, you discover a special gene -- ESF -- that, when transcribed, produces the mRNA sequence: 5' - AUGCCAGUCUAA - 3'. Unfortunately, another specimen in the facility has caused a power outage due to its ability to feed on energy, so you need to determine the amino acid sequence produced from that mRNA by hand. Which of the following options below illustrates the correct amino acid sequence that would be produced as a result of translating the mRNA that you identified? Please note that you will need to use the codon chart to answer this question.
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

![O a. Met - Thr - Leu - Asn
