      Look at Q1bii)
      "Give the DNA base sequence that codes for threonine"
      ——–

      So the DNA base sequence that CODES is on the sense strand
      mRNA is complementary to the anti-sense strand and identical to the sense strand (except T is replaced by U)

      So the codons on mRNA should be the same as the coding DNA strand
      hence the answer SHOULD BE ACC
      BUT the answer given is TGG
      why?
      thanks

      are you sure?

      in such case, you should study little bit more. Especially in light of your next sentence:
      "mRNA is complementary to the anti-sense strand and identical to the sense strand (except T is replaced by U)"

      (is it possible to be both sentences correct?)
