Answer:

The options to this question are incorrect.

The answer is 5'- CGU- 3'

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of living organisms that contains information on how to produce proteins needed for the normal functioning of the cell. This information is encoded in the nucleotide bases contained in the DNA molecule. The information is expressed via the process of transcription and translation.

Transcription is the process whereby DNA is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. In this case, a particular triplet of bases in the coding strand of DNA is 5'-CGT-3. This undergoes transcription to give 3'- GCA- 5'.

This further undergoes translation with the aid of a tRNA, which carries the following anticodon component which is complementary to the mRNA codon: 5'- CGU- 3'.
