C
Methionine-Threonine
D
Methionine-Aspartic acid
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the given DNA sequence: ATGACC.
Transcribe the DNA sequence into mRNA by replacing each DNA base with its complementary RNA base: A \rightarrow U, T \rightarrow A, G \rightarrow C, C \rightarrow G. This gives the mRNA sequence.
Divide the mRNA sequence into codons, which are groups of three nucleotides each.
Use the genetic code table to translate each mRNA codon into its corresponding amino acid.
Combine the amino acids from each codon to determine the dipeptide encoded by the original DNA sequence.
