## Step 1The problem is asking for the mRNA codons for an albino cat. mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized. The genetic code is universal and consists of codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids or stop signals during protein synthesis.## Step 2The albino cat condition is typically caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. This condition is not directly related to the genetic code of mRNA but rather to a specific gene mutation.## Step 3However, if we consider the options provided, we can analyze them based on the standard genetic code:- Option A (CCU CCU AUG AUG) does not correspond to any known codons for amino acids.- Option B (GGU GGU GUC GUC) includes codons for the amino acids Glycine (GGU) and Valine (GUC).- Option C (GGG AGG AGA CGA) includes codons for the amino acids Glycine (GGG), Arginine (AGG), and Arginine (AGA), and Alanine (CGA).- Option D (GGA GGA GAC GAC) includes codons for the amino acids Glycine (GGA) and Aspartic acid (GAC).## Step 4Since the question is about mRNA codons and not about a specific gene mutation related to albinism, the most appropriate answer would be the one that lists codons for amino acids, which is Option B.
