A strand that is transcribed is called a template strand, the other one is called a coding strand. The template strand is in 3'-5' direction, and the coding strand is in 5'-3' direction. mRNA is transcribed from 3'-5' template DNA strand, so it is in 5' to 3' direction. The first codon of mRNA is called start codon and usually it is AUG.

Knowing this, we can answer the questions:

The transcribed strand must contain three nucleotide sequence complementary to AUG codon. According to the base pairing rules, it must be TAC. The strand that contains TAC, and, thus, is transcribed is
C C C T A C G C C T T T C A G G T T.
This template strand is in 3'-5' direction and the other one is 5'-3'.
mRNA transcription begins from the DNA sequence complementary to AUG codon:
DNA sequence: 3' C C C T A C G C C T T T C A G G T T 5'
mRNA sequence: 5' A U G C G G A A A G U C C A A 3'
mRNA sequence is in 5'-3' direction.

<h2>Carrot in 0.2M salt solution</h2>

Explanation:

Carrot cuts put in 0.2M salt answer for a few hours gets flabby (limp).
Carrot cuts set in freshwater for a few hours gets turgid (firm). From this, we can conclude that such as.

Freshwater is hypertonic and the salt arrangement is hypotonic to the cells of the carrot cuts.
Freshwater and salt arrangement are both hypotonic to the cells of the carrot cuts.
Freshwater is isotonic and the salt arrangement is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot cuts.
Freshwater is hypotonic and the salt arrangement is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot cuts.
Freshwater and the salt arrangement are both hypertonic to the cells of the carrot cuts.
