5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
medium
What sequence on the template strand of $DNA$ corresponds to the first amino acid inserted into a protein?
A
$TAC$
B
$UAC$
C
$UAG$
D
$AUG$
Solution
The first $mRNA$ codon to specify an amino acid is always $AUG. \;A\; DNA$ strand with the sequence $TAC$ will corresponds to the first amino acid $i.e.$, $AUG. \;On\; DNA$ strand $A$ always pairs with $T$ while on $RNA$ strand $A$ always pairs with $U$.
