Answer:

Val-leu-pro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic codes or codons are defined as triplets of nucleotide bases of a DNA or RNA. There are total 64 genetic codes, out of which 61 codons codes for 20 standard amino acids during translation, while three codons provide stop signals for termination of translation.

The codon GUC codes for valine (val), CUU codes for leucine (leu), and CCG codes for proline (pro). Thus, the amino acid sequence will be val-leu-pro.
