For the DNA base sequence GGG what is the mRNA codon? What is the tRNA codon that binds to the mRNA codon and what is the correct amino acid that is coded by the base sequence? ...?

Genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because many codons code for the same amino acid but NEVER will one codon code for more than one amino acid.
1. The DNA base sequence (GGG) is a CCC mRNA.
2. This mRNA sequence of CCC is known as the codon. It ill correspond to the tRNA anticodon of GGG.
3.
This tRNA will be attached to the amino acid, proline.

I hope these answers help.
