1) What is the function the mRNA sequence AUG? 2) What is the function of the mRNA sequence UGA?

The codon AUG both codes for methionine and serves as an initiation site: the first AUG in an mRNA's coding region is where translation into protein begins. The other start codons listed by GenBank are rare in eukaryotes and generally codes for Met/fMet

The normal function of UGA is to terminate protein synthesis, and thus, depending on the conditions (see below), this codon may act as either nonsense or a Sec codon (codon = sequence)

Explanation:

complete the square on the right side of the equation;

-5(x + 0)^2 + 15

answer: d. y = -x^2 + 15
