Answer: The associated amino acids are Methionine-Leucine-Proline-Valine.

Explanation: mRNA contains codons which codes for amino acids. Every amino acid is specified by at least one codon. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotide molecules that codes for a specific amino acid. AUG codes for methionine, UUA codes for Leucine, CCC codes for Proline while GUA codes for valine.
