Answer:

A-G-C-U-C-A

Step-by-step explanation:

A-G-C-U-C-A is the base sequence correctly represents the corresponding portion of RNA molecule if DNA molecule with the base sequence A-G-C-T-C-A was used as a template. It is because the RNA molecule is formed from the same bases used in DNA except thymine. In RNA molecule, instead of thymine, uracil is attached with other nucleotide bases.
