A segment of a protein has the amino acid sequence Ser—Gly—Leu. Is it possible to infer the sequence of the RNA that encodes this amino acid sequence?





A) Yes, the sequence is UCU—GGA—CUC.

B) Yes, the sequence is TCT—GGA—CTC.

C) No; more than one type of RNA (more than one base sequence) could encode this amino acid sequence.

D) No; the sequence of bases in RNA is not related to the amino acid sequence.
