Answer:

The correct answer will be- 3' UCA 5.

Explanation:

DNA is known as the genetic material of the organism as it provides the instructions to the organism. The instructions are provided in the form of triplets of bases called codons.

The organism gets the information through the two important processes called transcription and translation.The transcription transcript the information of the DNA by forming a complementary molecule called mRNA.

The sequence of the mRNA is in accordance with the Chargaf rule which stated that A will bind T (U in case of RNA) and G will bind C. Since the sequence of DNA is 5′-AGT -3′, therefore, the corresponding mRNA will be 3' UCA 5'.

Thus, 3' UCA 5' is the correct answer.
