a triplet base sequence on the template strand of dna reads att. what will be the corresponding mrna codon, trna anticodon, and amino acid coded for by this dna?

In protein synthesis, we can identify the mRNA codon by replacing thymine with uracil. Because the DNA sequence reads ATT, the corresponding mRNA codon would be UAA. The tRNA codon would be AUU (which essentially is the same as the DNA sequence, but with uracil in place of the thymine). The corresponding amino acid that represents AUU would be isoleucine.
