Answer:

The correct answer is option if one side of an RNA chain is GAT, the other side must be CTA.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleic acid DNA and RNA show many differences in their nucleotides as:

1. Sugar- DNA has sugar deoxyribose nucleic acid while RNA has ribonucleic acid.

2. Nitrogenous base- DNA has adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine but RNA carries all nitrogenous bases except uracil which is present instead of thymine.

According to the question, since, RNA sequence is showing GAT, in which thymine is present instead of uracil therefore, this option is the correct answer.
