Answer:

AUG AUC CAA AGU GGG UAA

Amino Acids:

Methionine, Isoleucine, glutamine, Serine, Glycine, Stop codon

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA converted to mRNA goes like this

Apples Under Trees

Cars in Garages

now let me explain this,

A(Adenine) goes with T(Thymine)

C(Cytosine) goes with G(Guanine)

BUT,

this is where the U in under takes place since we are transcripting, there is no T, it is replaced with U(Uracil)

Ex: CAT

Would be

GUA

C is paired with G, A is paired with U in transcription, and T is paired with A.

Ex: AGG

Would be

UCC

A is with U in transcription, G is paired with C.

Now we find the amino acids aka traits :)

I like to use a circle codon mRNA chart

Methionine, Isoleucine, glutamine, Serine, Glycine, Stop codon

(can go in depth about codons and stuff, or the codon chart if you don't know how to use either the box or circle one)
