Question 40 - Science Practice Test for the HiSET Test

In DNA, the base pairing is A-T and C-G. The attached wheel image shows the codons for amino acid synthesis in the ribosome. The codon starts from the center and goes from the center to the outside, and consists of three letters (e.g. one of the codons for serine is TCA). Which DNA base sequence would code for the amino acid sequence Gly-Arg-Leu-Met?
