If the sequence of bases in the coding strand of DNA at a cistron is 5ʹ ATGTCATGGCCCTTATAA 3ʹ, the sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide would be. 

a
Methionine → Serine →Tryptophan → Proline → Isoleucine
b
Methionine → Serine →Tryptophan → Proline → Phenyl alanine
c
Methionine → Serine →Tryptophan → Proline → Leucine
d
Methionine → Threonine →Tryptophan → Proline → Leucine

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The sequence of coding strand of DNA and the mRNA is same except in Uracil and Thymine. The codons and corresponding amino acids are AUG – Methionine, UCA – Serine, UGG – Tryptophan, CCC – proline, UUA – Leucine and UAA is a non-sense codon (does not indicate any amino acid).
