Below is a hypothetical DNA molecule that codes for a protei

Below is a hypothetical DNA molecule that codes for a protein in E. coli. The lower strand is the template strand, i.e. the strand to which the mRNA molecule is complementary. Assuming that all of this molecule is transcribed and that translation begins and ends somewhere in this region of the resulting mRNA, indicate the base sequence of the mRNA, the sequence of the anticodons on the tRNA\'s that bring in the amino acids, and the final amino acid sequence of the small protein that is synthesized. The sequence of the anticodons ought to take wobble into account. (If the codon is CGG, the anticodon is GCU, because CGG and CGA both code for arginine) Be sure to be cognizant of the polarities of both the nucleic acids and the protein and indicate them in your answers.
