ATG GCG TAT GAC CTA
A.What is the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA that corresponds to this gene segment?
B. What are the transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodons that bind to the mRNA molecole whose sequence was determined in part A? HINT: Copy the mRNA sequence below, in codon groups, and then show the anticodon region of tRNA molecule binding to the mRNA.

Since in RNA we don't have T, instead we have U.
Also A binds U in RNA sequence instead T in DNA. So the answer for question A is:
a) mRNA= UAC CGC AUA CUG GAU
anticodons of tRNA are match with codons of mRNA so:
b) tRNA=AUG GCG UAU GAC CUA
PS: Yes Prof Kelvin is right, it's should be in reverse. However we don't know which one is 5' and which one is 3' in the question of the Chris...So i just didn't put 3' and 5' on my answers. (it would be clearly if we know which one is 5' and 3').

Dr. Zoo is right that U replaces T in RNA; and that A binds U (also C binds G).
HOWEVER, when a complimentary nucleotide strand is made (whether it is DNA or RNA) it is ALWAYS read in the reverse direction. Therefore, the mRNA sequence really is:
UAG GUC AUA CGC CAU

you ought to translate this into mRNA UAC-CGC-AUA-CUG-GAU Now you ought to appear a your amino acid chart to record the amino acids for each mRNA. Sorry, i don't have a chart with me, yet i realize it may be on your e book.
