7. In a laboratory of Molecular Biology, the amino acids sequence of an armadillo intestine protein has been partially determined. The tRNA molecules used in the synthesis have the following anticodons3´ UAC 5´ 3´ CGA 5´ 3´ GGA 5´ 3´ GCU 5´ 3´ UUU 5´ 3´ GGA 5´
Mark the DNA nucleotide sequence of the complementary chain to the DNA chain that
encodes for the armadillo intestine protein:
A 5´-ATG-GCT-GGT-CGA - AAA-CCT-3´.
B 5´-ATG-GCT-CCT-CGA - AAA-CCT-3´.
C 5´-ATG-GCT-GCT-CGA - AAA-GCT-3´.
D 5´-ATG-GGT-CCT-CGA - AAA-CGT-3´.
