Answer: Met - Glu - Tyr - Asn - Thr - Lys - Phe - Arg - Ser - Stop

Step-by-step explanation:

mRNA: AUG GAA UAC AAU ACU AAG UUC CGU AGU UAA

Firstly, each codon is formed by three nucleotides, that codify for an amino acid.

In the chart of the left, the first nucleotide is represented on the left column, the second is represented by the row on the top, and the third nucleotide is represented by the column on the right. In the intersection of these three, is the amino acid corresponding to the nucleotide triplet.

The right chart, has to be followed from the center to the external part, so the first circle, that is divided in four, represents the first nucleotide, while the amino acid is located in the most external part of the chart.
