Question
If the template strand of DNA carries the code: GGT-AAT-ACT, then what is the corresponding mRNA code? Recall that DNA does not use "U" as a base.
Enter your answer below using the same format as shown here (three capital letters for each codon, separated by a single dash, no spaces, repeat for each codon).
