Normally when a DNA sequence is written, we should define its meaning (5 'and 3') we will consider the DNA sequence as follows: 3 'GATCAC 5'

the RNA sequence should be antiparallel and complementary to that of DNA, so the answer is:

RNA: 5 'CUAGUG 3'

CUAGUG

Explanation:

  • DNA is made up of four types of nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Adenine and thymine make complementary base pairing with each other and cytosine and guanine make complementary base pairing with each other.
  • In mRNA in place of thymine uracil comes. So uracil is added complementary to adenine in mRNA during transcription.
  • Therefore the correct DNA sequence for GATCAC is CUAGUG because in place of Thymine uracil came complementary to adenine.
  • This DNA sequence is arranged in a manner that makes a triplet codon and each triplet codon codes for a single amino acid.
