Summary Introduction

To determine:

To determine the amino acid sequence starting from the first base of the given $\text{mRNA}$ nucleotide sequence.

Introduction:

The $\text{mRNA}$ consists of many bases. A collection of three bases that has the capability to code for a particular amino acid is called codon. Codons are present in the $\text{mRNA}$. These codons attach with the anticodon part of $\text{tRNA}$ to synthesize amino acid. The anticodon part of $\text{tRNA}$ is complementary to the codon part of $\text{mRNA}$. As a result, these two join together and undergo a translation process to produce amino acids.
