During translation, nucleotide base triplets (codons) in mrna are read in sequence in the 5’ → 3’ direction along the mrna. amino acids are specified by the string of codons. what amino acid sequence does the following mrna nucleotide sequence specify?
5'-auggcaag-3'
express the sequence of amino acid using the three-letter abbrevations, separated by hyphens.(e. g.,met-ser-thr-lys-gly).

N-ter-Met-Ala-Arg-Lys-C-ter

Explanation: The genetic code expresses what aminoacid codifies a codon or triplet in the RNA sequence. The RNA sequence 5'-AUGGCAAG-3 codify a peptide compund by 4 aminoacids, from the 5' or N-ter in the peptide to the 3' or C-ter in the peptide: Methionine (Met), Alanine (Ala), Arginine (Arg) and Lysine (Lys).

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.
