Question
You are given a polypeptide that is composed of five amino acids: methionine-valine-glutamine- lysine-tyrosine. Using the information in the text, including the chart on page 412, provide the mRNA sequence, the complementary DNA sequence, and the tRNA anticodons. Don't forget to include the STOP codon.

Answer
Hi Jose
 Here are the codons

  AA   Met  Val  Glu  Lys  Tyr
  tRNA AUG  GUU  GAU  AAA  UAU
Anticod UAG
  mRNA AUC
 DNA   TAC  CAA

   I did part of the problem for you now you fill in the rest. Let me know if you have a problem. Note that mRNA and the anticodon are the same. A stop was not asked for AAA reads for a stop.
