Answer 1

To complete your task, we first need to transcribe the DNA sequence into mRNA, and then translate the mRNA codons into amino acids using a codon chart.

1. The DNA sequence given is: **TAC CGC CCC**

2. To transcribe this into mRNA, we replace each DNA base with its complementary RNA base:
- A (adenine) -> U (uracil)
- T (thymine) -> A (adenine)
- C (cytosine) -> G (guanine)
- G (guanine) -> C (cytosine)

Therefore, the mRNA sequence would be:
- DNA: TAC CGC CCC
- mRNA: AUG CGC GGG

3. Next, we translate the mRNA sequence into amino acids using the codon chart:
- AUG = Methionine (Met)
- CGC = Arginine (Arg)
- GGG = Glycine (Gly)

So, to complete the response areas:
- **mRNA:** AUG, CGC, GGG
- **Amino Acids:** Methionine (Met), Arginine (Arg), Glycine (Gly)

You can now place these responses in the designated input areas.
