Explanation:

Step1: Translate mRNA to protein

Use the circular chart. For each triplet (codon) in the mRNA - like for question 3, the codons are GGU AGU CUC CAG UCC UGU.

• GGU: Look at the chart. Start from the center (U, G, A, C). For GGU: first letter G, second G, third U. It corresponds to "IT".
• AGU: A - G - U corresponds to "Caused".
• CUC: C - U - C corresponds to "A".
• CAG: C - A - G corresponds to "Big".
• UCC: U - C - C corresponds to "Traffic".
• UGU: U - G - U corresponds to "Jam".

Step2: Form the sentence

Combine the words from each codon.

Answer:

It Caused A Big Traffic Jam
