Step-by-step explanation:

First of all you have to know that both charts have the same function.

1) If we choose the first one this is how you should use it, let´s start with the first part of the sequence:

ACG

So A is the first base so I will look for it in the center of the wheel, then we continue towards the outside:

So the amino acid is Thr

2) In the second chart we observe three entries that must be used as indicated there, let´s we go with the second codon:

GCC

The place where all the lines cross indicate the name of the amino acid.iof5gd

So the amino acid is Ala

Answer:

mRNA ACG GCC UUU CAG AGG UGC

Amino acids Thr Ala Phe Gln Arg Cys
