With the information of the question we have:

1 Step (Find the mRNA sequence)

Template DNA = TAC AAT CGA ACT

mRNA = AUG UUA GCU UGA (RNA does not have the thymine base, it is replaced by uracil in this molecule to pair with adenine).

2 Step (find the amino acid sequence with the information given by in the question)

mRNA = AUG UUA GCU UGA

Amino Acid = Met (M) - Leu (L) - Ala (A) - Trp (T)

Start Stop

The amino acid decoded by the translation of this mRNA sequence is from a protein with initial and final amino acids already determined (translation start and stop codon)
