Answer:

The correct answer would be -

RNA - AUG GGG CCU UAC UAA

Amino acid -methionine-glycine-proline-tyrosine -stop codon

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of protein synthesis, the first process is known as transcription which involves the transcribing the mRNA strand from the DNA strand in a complementary manner. In this manner, Adenine transcribes into uracil and cytosine transcribe into guanine similarly thymine into adenine and guanine into cytosine.

Then, DNA strand - T-A-C-C-C-C-G-G-A-A-T-G-A-T-T will change into AUG GGG CCU UAC UAA and every three codes represent a triplet codon that translates into an amino acid first code called start codon and normally code for methionine (AUG) and last code for stop and does not code any amino acid.

Then, the amino acid will be - methionine-glycine-proline-tyrosine -stop codon
