Answer:

GUA

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

These are the base pairs for transcription

IMPORTANT

when transcribing; Adenine transcribes to Uracil not Thymine

so it would be

Adenine to Uracil

Thymine to Adenine

Cytosine to Guanine

Guanine to cytosine

so we want to find the mRNA codon of the dna sequence CAT

Cytosine to Guanine (G)

Adenine to Uracil (U)

Thymine to Adenine (A)

your answer is GUA
