Answer:

UGC

Step-by-step explanation:

In RNA, Uracil (instead of Thiamine as is the case with DNA) pairs with Adenine. Cytosine pairs with Guanine like in DNA. The anticodon in tRNA is used to 'detect' the codon in mRNA and therefore bring in the requisite amino acid in the translation complex during translation.
