Final answer:

The anticodon on the corresponding tRNA would be 5'uga3'.This anticodon binds to the codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coding strand of DNA is the strand that is used as a template to make the mRNA molecule.

In the coding strand, the sequence 5'agt3' corresponds to the sequence 3'tca5' in the template strand.

The anticodon on the tRNA molecule that pairs with the codon 3'tca5' is 5'uga3'.

This anticodon binds to the codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis.

The anticodon is the three nucleotide group that's present in the tRNA and is complementary to the mRNA codon. The mRNA codon, on the other hand, is complementary to the DNA information. Therefore, we would have the following passages of, firstly, transcription, and then, recognition by the anticodon:
DNA coding strand for a particular amino acid: 5' AGT 3'
corresponding mRNA codon: 3' UCA 5' (or 5' ACU 3')
corresponding tRNA anticodon: 5' AGU 3' (or 3' UGA 5')
