Item 18 refers to the following information. The sequence of bases in one strand of DNA from part of a gene is ACC CCA TTT CAT CCA. The table below shows the anticodons of some tRNA molecules and the specific amino acids each would carry. \begin{tabular}{|l|c|} \hline \textbf{Amino acid} & \textbf{tRNA anticodon} \\ \hline Alanine & CGA \\ Glycine & CCA \\ Lysine & UUU \\ Proline & GGA \\ Tryptophan & ACC \\ Valine & CAU \\ \hline \end{tabular} Which of the following is the amino acid sequence coded for in this part of the gene?
- (A)Valine - glycine - tryptophan - glycine - lysine
- (B)Tryptophan - glycine - lysine - valine - glycine
- (C)Lysine - valine - lysine - valine - glycine
- (D)Glycine - tryptophan - lysine - valine - glycine
