it was glutamine
that was the easiest thing ever no offence how do u get that mixed up
I felt it was easy to get confused with the statement that the sequence in mRNA was the same as DNA, because your prior knowledge for Mod 5 in protein synthesis would suggest otherwise. So you'd either answer glutamine (assuming mRNA sequence was the same as DNA) or valine (CAG complementary bases which is usually how it works). I was confused when I first saw it too.

Yeah is it? Cause is it meant to be like transcription dna to mrna and translation for making proteins? Lol I changed my answer from the glutamine thing to valine ahaha
no it was glutamine, it explicitly said that the dna to mrna thing is the same

I got glutamine but was pretty torn for that one- the thing that sod it was when it said the mRNA was the same as the DNA or something. Seemed like they were waffling to try confussel us
