DNA template strand

5`-TTACGGCAT-3`

8) mRNA is complementary to the template strand, RNA polymerase adds U complementary to A, A complementary to T, G is complementary to C and vice versa.

mRNA is 5`-AUGCCGUAA-3`

9) anticodon is complementary to the codons in the mRNA ( A is complementary to U and C is complementary to G)

the first anticodon is

3`-UAC-5`

10) amino acid brought by the tRNA with anticodon 3`-UAC-5` is methionine.

11) the second codon in the mRNA is 5`-CCG-3`

12) the anticodon is complementary to the codons in the mRNA ( A is complementary to U and C is complementary to G)

the second anticodon is

3`-GGC-5`

13) amino acid brought by the tRNA with anticodon 3`-GGC-5` is proline.

14) amino acids are linked to each other via a peptide bond.

15) third codon is 5`-UAA-3`

16) anti-codon is 3`-AUU-5`

the anticodon is complementary to the codons in the mRNA ( A is complementary to U and C is complementary to G).

17) 5`-UAA-3`

is a stop codon, so the corresponding tRNA does not add any amino acid so the answer is STOP

18) there are 64 codon

19) only 61 codons codes for amino acid

20) three others are stop codons it does not code for any amino acid.

21) 20 amino acids are coded by the codons.
