Answer: AUG CCT AGG

Explanation: So in the DNA: ACC TAC GGA TCC

Adenine (A) goes with Thymine, Cytosine goes with Guanine and Guanine is with Cytosine. But in this case Adenine goes with what is called Uracil, they are the complementary sequence so in a codon wheel you need to find TAC because it is AUG (START) which moves in mRNA. So now;

DNA: ___TAC GGA TCC

mRNA: AUG CCT AGG
