UAC
A. Histidine-glycine-glycine-tyrosine-glycine
B. Glycine-tyrosine-glycine-histidine-histidine
G. Glycine-glycine-tyrosine-glycine histidine
D. Histidine-glycine-glycine-glycine-tyrosine
Answer
The mRNA sequence GGCUACGGGCAUCAC would code for the amino acid sequence Glycine-Tyrosine-Glycine-Histidine. Therefore, the answer is B. Glycine-tyrosine-glycine-histidine-histidine.
