Answer:

AUG - methionine

AAG - lysine

CUC - leucine

UUU - phenylalanine

UGG - tryptophan

UUG - leucine

CUU - leucine

UUC - phenylalanine

ACC - threonine

AUU - isoleucine

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the mRNA sequence into codons of three nucleotides each and identify what amino acid codes with each codon.

UAA is a stop codon and signifies the end of translation so any nucleotides after it will not be translated.

Hope that helps.
