Answer:

the nucleotide sequence of mRNA is 3'UCA5'.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the coding strand mRNA has base pairs opposite to the DNA template strand .sine in case of RNA URACIL is opposite to ADENINE and CYTOSINE IS opposite to GUANINE. nad ADENINE is opposite to THYAMINE. so the correct sequence is 3'UCA5'.
