DNA to DNA:GCA AAG TCC
A
CGT TTC AGG
B
CGU UUG AGG
C
GCA AAG TCC
D
ATA TAT ATA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The DNA base sequence TCT and TCC both code for the amino acid arginine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Four codons: Ala, Gly, Pro, Thr, Val.

Detailed explanation-3: -The synthesised mRNA will have base sequence complementary to the template strand of the DNA. This complementarity is useful for synthesis of correct sequence of amino acids. Hence, for the given DNA sequence-‘C-A-A-G-G-T’, the correct mRNA sequence will be ‘G-U-U-C-C-A’.
