Answer:

AAG - GGU - CUA - AAA

Step-by-step explanation:

This happens because in the RNA synthesis, Thymine is present in Uracil giving it a U symbol. The conversions between the bases go between Cytosine and Guanine, or Thymine (Uracil) and Adenine. Whenever you switch to the other strand, it becomes the opposite base for the other strand so they fit together perfectly in the chromosome or chromatid. Example: C - G contain opposite characteristics that fit so they only go together, Adenine or Guanine will not ever be present with either of those bases.
