Recall that DNA and RNA are synthesized only in the 5'→3' direction and that DNA and RNA sequences are written in the 5'→3' direction, unless otherwise noted.

Consider the following DNA sequence:
5' TTGAAATGCCCGTTTGGAG ATCGGGTTACAGCTAGTCA AAG 3'
3' AACTTTACGGGCAAACCTC TAGCCCAATGTCGATCAGT TTC 5'

Identify bases in the bottom strand that can be transcribed into start and stop codons. Write the mRNA sequence (in the form of triplets, for example, GGG-AAA-CCC) that would be transcribed between start and stop codons if the bottom strand served as the template for RNA polymerase.

I answered 5 'UUG-AAA-UGC-CCG-UUU-GGA-GAU-CGG-GUU-ACA-GCU-AGU-CAA-AG 3' and it was considered incorrect.

There is not start codon (AUG) and no stop codon so I don't know what to do.
