The answer is UGC, ACG, AUU, UGC. There are two ways to solve this problem. 1) First find the mRNA sequence. The pattern is the pattern of bases that would pair with each DNA base, except with thymine (T) replaced with uracil (U). Then, break it up into three-base codons. Find the bases that would pair with it. That is the tRNA sequence. 2) If you have done this type of problem before, you may notice that the tRNA sequence is the same as the DNA sequence, with thymine replaced by uracil. This occurs because the mRNA pairs with DNA and then pairs with the tRNA. Similar to inverse operations in math.
Sorry that my solution is not that good. This is my first time writing a solution/problem.
