What is the protein molecule coded for by this piece of mRNA: CUCAAGUGCUUC?

This is another question for the practice test I'm working on.





What does the mRNA strand CUCCAAGUGCUUC code for?


a.Ser-Tyr-Arg-Gly


b.Val-Asp-Pro-His


c.Leu-Lys-Cys-Phe


d.Pro-Glu-Leu-Val





Any ideas? Please help if you can. Thanks!What is the protein molecule coded for by this piece of mRNA: CUCAAGUGCUUC?
CUC = Leu


AAG = Lys


UGC = Cys


UUC = Phe


So your answer would be (C)





remember the three nucleotides in an mRNA codon are coded designated, respectively, as the first position. You must always have three,
