Q. If coding segment of DNA contains CAC, which amino acid is synthesized during translation ?

COMEDKCOMEDK 2010Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

If the coding segment of DNA contains CAC, then the codon on the mRNA chain will be GUG, which will code for valine. There are four codons for valine: GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG.
