mRNA (See list below or attached chart).
1) AUG - Met (Start)
2) UUC (can be a codon for any AA, except for one that codes for
a start or a stop AA)
3) CUG (can be a codon for any AA, except for one that codes for
a start or a stop AA)
4) GCA (can be a codon for any AA, except for one that codes for
a start or a stop AA)
5) UAA - Stop OR UAG - Stop OR UGA - Stop.

Complementary DNA
(Must compliment mRNA strand- T to A; A to U; G to C; C to G)
1) TAC (complimentary to codon listed in mRNA sequence, above)
2) AAG (complimentary to codon listed in mRNA sequence, above)
3) GAC (complimentary to codon listed in mRNA sequence, ...
