President Nero decided that she wants to take a look at what makes Lazarus tick. She takes a skin sample and brings it to the lab. In the lab, Nero's technicians record Lazarus' DNA as being in the sequence (A A A G G T A C A T G A G G C G G A T G G T A A C T T T A C C) . Using the start codon AUG and the stop codon UGA, give Nero a list of the amino acids that this particular strand of DNA codes for.
This is acually pretty important so I'd really love if I had an answer soon!!

Did it mention anything about 5' and 3' ends. Here is what I am assuming (because if the opposite is true, there is no UGA stop codon):
DNA
3' - AAAGGTACATGAGGCGGATGGTAACTTTACC - 5'
mRNA
5' - UUUCCAUGUACUCCGCCUACCAUUGAAAUGG - 3'
So let's cut out the parts of the RNA not coded:
5' - AUGUACUCCGCCUACCAUUGA - 3'
Now to translate the sequence:
N - Met Tyr Ser Ala Tyr His STOP - C
DNA
3' - AAAGGTACATGAGGCGGATGGTAACTTTACC - 5'
mRNA
5' - UUUCCAUGUACUCCGCCUACCAUUGAAAUGG - 3'
So let's cut out the parts of the RNA not coded:
5' - AUGUACUCCGCCUACCAUUGA - 3'
Now to translate the sequence:
N - Met Tyr Ser Ala Tyr His STOP - C
