1. Transcription:
* DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which uses uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).
* The complementary mRNA sequence for CAT would be GUA.
2. Translation:
* mRNA is translated into a protein sequence using the genetic code.
* The codon GUA codes for the amino acid valine (Val).
Therefore, the amino acid produced from the DNA sequence CAT is valine.
