Answer:

First, the sequence needs to be transformed from DNA to RNAm, so the A's are transformed into U (uracil in RNA) and the G's are transformed into C's (and vice-versa) and the T's into A's. Then, when the RNAm chain is obtained, the first trio turns into (AUC) that codes for Isoleucine, then the second one is (GAA) and it's Glutamate, and finally the third trio codes for Proline (CCG). The fourth part only has two nucleotides so it's impossible to know the amino acid to which it codes.
