A tRNA's anticodon is 3`-GAC- 5`. Assuming all nucleic acid strings given are 5`-3`, the corresponding codon in the mRNA transcript is: d. CUG - This is because the strands need to be anti-parallel to each other, and also because mRNA contains Uracil (U) in place of Thymine (T) as a pyrimidine.
The corresponding segment of the coding strand of DNA: a. CTG - As the mRNA resembles the coding strand but without any Uracil (U) in place of Thymine (T) as a pyrimidine, that happens during the Transcription stage.
Corresponding segment of the template strand of DNA: e. CAG - As the mRNA is synthesized by following this strand as template hence base complementarity can be used to obtain this sequence although it will be in the anti-parallel direction.
