The chart matches messenger RNA codons with amino acids. A DNA strand has the codon AAT. What amino acid would it be that corresponds the messenger RNA code?

The answer is leucine.

According to the rule of complementarity, messenger RNA code that is complement to DNA codon AAT is UUA:
DNA: AAT
RNA: UUA

So, in the chart must be found amino acid that corresponds to the messenger RNA code UUA. That is leucine.
