Answer: CGC-UUA-ACG

Explanation: Okkk so.

First things first, remember the base pairing rules. In mRNA, A pairs with U and C with G. In the case that you have a T in the original DNA, that pairs with A. I just use the phrase "Car in the Garage" and "Apple Under the tree"

Just a tip, I would make sure to group everything in their 3-base codon sequences. It's much easier to read that way.

I hope this helps!
