Chapter 9, Problem 6CT

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether an individual can spell a name by using one-letter amino acid abbreviation.

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 $\text{mRNA}$.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The $\text{mRNA}$ sequence that encodes the “protein” name of an individual.

Introduction:

Suppose an individual’s name is “KAVITA”. This name can be spelled by using amino acid abbreviations as: as “Lysine-Alanine-Valine-Isoleucine-Threonine-Alanine”. This is the protein name of “KAVITA”.
