mRNA (messengerRNA) is a copy of DNA. The main differences between the 2 are that RNA has U (uracil) in place of T (thymidine) in DNA, DNA is ds(double-stranded) while RNA is generally ss(single-stranded).

So if the DNA sequence is: CCA GTT CTG CGC CTG CCC AAA CCA

Then the mRNA would be: CCA GUU CUG CGC CUG CCC AAA CCA

As for the codon question, a codon is a group of 3 nucleotides. Since you've written your question with the nucleotides arranged in groups of 3, maybe you're asking what the translated amino acid sequence would be for the sequence you've indicated.

It would be: Proline Valine Leucine Arginine Leucine Proline Lysine Proline
