Answer:

AGU-CUA

Step-by-step explanation:

An mRNA sequence is made using a DNA sequence as a template. The sequence is dictated by complementary base pairing.

DNA uses the bases A, T, C and G. A is complementary to T and G is complementary to C.

RNA uses the bases A, U, C and G. A is complementary to U and G is complementary to C.

When transcribing DNA to RNA:

  • C is paired with G
  • G is paired with C
  • A is paired with U
  • T is paired with A

Therefore, TCA-GAT is transcribed to AGU-CUA
