If a DNA template strand had a base sequence of G-G-A-T-C-A; a) what are the codons of the mRNA produced; what are the anticodons for the appropriate tRNA molecule; and what amino acids will be placed in the right order at the ribosome?

Gene expression results in the synthesis of a protein molecule based on the template strand of the gene segment of DNA. If a DNA template strand had a base sequence of G-G-A-T-C-A; a) what are the codons of the mRNA produced; b) what are the anticodons for the appropriate tRNA molecule; and c) what amino acids will be placed in the right order at the ribosome? Identifying DNA at crime scenes is a vital tool in forensics. Do you feel confident that DNA analysis is always correct? Explain your position.
