Here, take a look at this amino acid chart: http://biochem.co/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/amino-acid-table-singlet-code.png It shows us how to use mRNA codons, and translate them into amino acids. You know that codons are groups of three letters, right? So let's look at the first codon in your mRNA......(AUG) Now, let's look at the amino acid chart.

Find the first letter (A) on the LEFT side. 
Find the second letter (U) at the TOP. 
Find the third letter (G) on the RIGHT side. 

You can find the place where all three letters cross with one another. 

(AUG) codes for (Met) 
Can you find that?
