CGU AAU
Arg Asn

I used the dictionary of the genetic code (RNA codons). The strand of DNA transcription to RNA translation. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Sequence of mRNA strand-CGU AAU.

Explanation:

During mRNA synthesis or transcription, mRNA molecule is synthesized by using information present in template DNA strand. The RNA polymerase enzyme adds new nucleotides in growing mRNA chain, complementary to nucleotides present in template DNA.

According to complementary base-pairing rule, in mRNA adenine binds with uracil and guanine binds with cytosine (vice versa). Thus, the sequence made by given DNA sequence would be:

DNA strand- GCA TTA

RNA strand- CGU AAU
